Default some paint advice!!??

alright, I just had Sherwin Williams mix me up a few cans of my car colour, and I am going to paint my side skirts.. and get a type-r lip very soon and paint that too. I also was thinking of painting the two black pieces in between my windows, butt im not sure how that would look? some opinions.. and maybe some photoshop if you are willing!
heres a side pic:



now I am planning on painting a coat of primer, most likely a gray, then at least two thick coats of colour, then a coat or two of clear, should I give the colours a sand before I apply the primer? or should i sand the clear? and is grey the best primer choice?

you guys are very smart around here..(for the most part hehe ) any help would be greatly appreciated!

oh ya, alot of people take the mud gaurds off after they paint, how funky would that look if i painted them and left them...or just kept them black and kept them on??
^probly the dumbst idea haha.

just a new thought, i might paint the mud flaps, and try to put them on behind the rear wheels? that might look alright, give the rear some sort of visual lowering..

any more feeback? I really would love to see a photoshop with the "champagne" on those two door bars(vertical in between the two windows) . or does that spell tacky?

i respect most of your opinions, ahah.
