Aircraft stipper and send it to a powercoating shop for proper painting.

Cheap way how I would do it not caring is aircraft stipper, 120grid sand start, primier, and paint.

I would start with 80 grit move up to 180, then up to 320. You than can spray primer wait about 10 min after spraying the primer then spray your top coat and then clear or let the primer dry and wet sand with 600 grit and then spray your top coat and then clear
