Default Painting car with Spray Can

So i just got my front end on my integra replaced and it was a mismatch of colours , along with the rust fixed on the rear quarters.
I decided i would paint my car using Dupli Color spray paint I chose midnight blue
So far i havnt added any color to the car I have only sanded the front bumper fender and driver door and sprayed on Sandable Gray rust primer.

CAN SOME ONE PLEASE GIVE ME SOME ADVICE

i would like this car to turn out as best looking as it possibly can. So any steps you could help me know would be greatly appreciated

good prep work..? there isn't really much to do when you are using duplicolor, other than knowing how to spray out of a rattle can. prep will be key in it turning out as good as a rattle can job can.

No, don't wetsand your base coat. I would assume painting your car with spray paint would be the same method as getting it done the right way.

you should just spray out of a gun they sell some cheap ones if your on a budget i think it would come out much better i personall use my paint gun but before i was doing it that way i did a spray can job and its not that easy like people make it seem and its not the same like primer but good luck and hope it comes out ok and try not to blotch it up you will notice once its done
