Default Painting dilemma..

Ok here's my car. I am debating what I should do in terms of painting some of the stuff. I have a cf duckbill on order so keep that in mind. Here are my options:

1. Paint match the lip and grille ($40-$50 in materials)

2. Paint the sideskirts flat black to match the other black parts (10-$15 in materials)

3. Leave it as it is and spend the money elsewhere

I guess I got me a summer project then. Might as well redo the door handles since maaco did a half *** job on them last year.

Would a 12.5oz spray can be enough for the lip, grille, door handles?

Maybe if you use your paint sparingly. 2 should be more then plenty
