if you have never painted before i would recommend you take it to a professional, but if your willing to learn it then you need to do some serious reasearch then get some equitmnet and practice. its not brian surgery, but it takes practice to get things just right. first you need to fix inperfections like sratches or gashes with some putty then prime and smooth with by water sanding with some 500 or 600 grit wet paper and a block, I use 3m paper, with water and a mild soap. i mix greased lighting half and half with water. then when spray on color and clear coat and then let dry and sand the clear to get out any dust or fish eyes then buff to a shine.
