Hey, its really easy, just remember which screw goes where, and what plug goes where, especially if you have an after market stereo, or if you've added stuff into where your gunna paint. i used spray cans, after using them for 5 years on other things, i have got a technique going, it took around 4 cans to do about 8 coats on each item, the more coats you do, the brighter and more better the colour will be.
Pete.

Did you use a primer or base coat? That could also help add brightness to lighter top coats as well as help the paint grip. (I know it does in model painting)

hrmm i didnt think bout sanding it, but im sure that would make it nice, but it tried not to worry bout them things, i just went through and painted, atm im painting a set of ' pursuit ' rims.. plain looking rims with circles on it, they are going to be white, as white rims on a light blue car would like nice.. when im finished i'll try to getta photo

used spray paint in a can you can buy at your local hardware store.. this one was i think called anchor, whihc is a full aussie brand, so have a look around, you'll find the colour and stuff ya need anywhere, i was gunna go red or yellow, but everycar i saw with it done had that colour, so i went blue.
