Default best DIY tutorial to paint my bumper lip

I'm looking into painting my bumper lip. The car's paint color is granada black pearl. I heard really good reviews about rust-oleum being the best paint to use. is this true? would it matter if i just use regular plain black rust-oleum spray paint from autozone? or should i get the granada black peal paint from who knows where? ( nobody in my location carries it..). thanks

Automotive paint is the best paint to use. Did you try looking in the Paint and Body forum?

I wouldnt recommend anything but automotive paint. Front end gets abused by debris all day rustoleum is going to start chipping right away.

what you could get is the black rubberized undercoating like is used for frames and truck beds. you wont really notice the texture on the lip, but it will likely never crack from rocks and debris

go to paintscratch . com and look up your paint code. You can put together an entire kit from sand paper, adhesion promotor, primer, base coat and clear. They will put it in aerosol cans for you since I am assuming you don't have a real paint gun.
