HI, i just got a RS lip that was once painted blk, but is no primered. Since painting it milano red is kinda of pricey. How can i get a glossy nice finished blk paint on it? i know this is a tedious post, but
1. what paint brand?
2. what clear coat?
3. what primer brand?
Also, can someone give me step by step instructions? i've never painted anything so i know NOTHING. thank you
