anywhat what u got do get Gray color Scott Brite not red or green!.. u can find in auto paint or body shop store.. start to scuff the lip and side skirt then clean with wax and grease during wet then use paper towel to wipe off and dry it. then Tack rag or Tack cloth.. (follow what they say on tack rag) then light swift the lip and skirt to lift off dust and dirts or derbis.. then primer it then sand it with 800gt wet sand.(sand with water only! must sand during wet! not dry!) just do light and sand off the Orange peel or fish eyes that look like dots. then smooth all.. then paint 1 coat on it then let dry for 15 min then 2nd coat then let dry for 15 min then 3rd if you want to... let dry for 30 min then put clear coat on it about 3 coats .. each coats must dry for 15 min... then leave for 1 hours or more until the clear coat really hard.... then get 1500 gt wet sand to sand... then finall 2000gt to smooth sand then Use Buffer with foam pad Rubbing Compound until all swirl off then wipe off all rubbing coumpod with paper towel then polish to shine and remove the swirls . buy 3m polish then clean the foam with water and dry it then buff with polish then clean with soft 100% cotton towel or Mircofiber towel( best)... then u done! But all the part paper, buffer chemical and paint cost you about 400-1000 dollar but The bosy shop cost you 300 dollar is cheap! Im serious.. The Automotive paint one gallon cost you 500-600 buck and clear coat cost like you about 800 dollar.. but Let Auto body shop to Paint and buff it for 300 buck! it cheap and faster also if see any mistake and tell them to repair it again for free it warrnety!

If i was you! i will sent to body shop to do it for 300 buck!
but good luck bro!
