Default OEM Painted LIP

What paint would you guys recommend to paint my OEM front LIP? I have limited time and money and have a Discount Auto Parts store right by my house and home depot. I just need something to look white and somewhat glossy. What should I use to prime it also? I have the lip sanded and cleanded and ready to go. It doesnt mean to the world to me since I will be getting a greddy lip soon anyway.

dupli color import autospray(frost white)
bulldog primer(any generic primer will work)
dupli color clear coat

got all of these from napa autoparts(autozone has them too). i recently painted my rear/front lip and sideskirts and it came out amazing. make sure you use the clear coat, it makes the paint look like it came like that from the factory. good ****

They shouldn't be more than 4-5 bucks a can, if your doing a small job they have the mini-me cans...total 15-25 dollars.

I did mine myself:
sanded then down, then use adhesion promoter, then painted it, came out damn good.

need to sand them, with different grit of sandpapers.

look for those clear primer, they are made for bumper plastic part, which have a little more "flex" into it.
you gonna need it for your lip, especially the front lip

paint them around 7 coat, light coat of paint.

do it in a clean, garage, spray the ground with water so do dust can get up in the air.

3 thicker layer of clear coats sounds right

6oz(aka small ****) cost around 5 dollar each, you gonna need at least two
