Ok, so I bought an OEM fender to replace the one that was bashed in. I went to a paint shop, gave them the paint code and they gave me a can of paint, and a can of clearcoat. I've never painted anything before in my life. I'm looking for tips on how to do this. They're both spray cans. I'm not sure how heavy or light to go, how many coats I should be expecting, or how much clear coat to put on. Its flamenco black pearl. Sorry for all the noobish questions, just a little confused and new to paint tryin to do the best I can without having it done elsewhere. Any help is appreciated, thanks H-T.

 

have you ever done body work? you have to prep it first before you start spraying

 

you should post in the paint and body section it youll get more quality advise, i really cant tell you what to do because i would be in the same boat as you. i am planning to repaint my whole car myself and have been lingering in the paint and body forum and there are some real knowledgable people there its a great forum. responce might not be as fast but def. worth waiting alittle longer.

 

Yeah, post it in the right section. There isn't as much traffic in that section as this one, so it might take awhile. But the people who know are in that section.

I'd suggest you bump your thread there every so often too.
