Default paint matching

I bought a pretty crappy type r replica front lip
its white an scratched up,
I wanna sand it down an then prolly have to epoxy certain parts to make it all look flush again.
What kinda sand paper should i get?
and instead of taking it to an auto body shop to get it painted i want to paint match it myself. Whats the best way to go about doin that?

Sherwin Williams ftw. Paint matched my eg and ep perfectly for great prices.

Just bring in your paint code (from driver's door jamb).

You need to get the paint code for you car also bring in the vin number i believe the 11th digit says the code as well. What i found when i was getting the paint for my car Night Hawk Black Pearl the code was B92P but my car was actually B92U there are different shades of the same paint code so bring in the vin number as well.
