Anyone here had any experience painting parts with the spray paint in a can?
I plan on giving it a go with my m3-type lip spoiler and RS4 grill trim. i have zero experience with this, but i figured i'd give it a shot. I already ordered the paint and clearcoat from www.paintscratch.com. but, i'm reading up on it more now and it's sounding like i need some other stuff.. Primer, sandpaper, rubbing compound... I guess i was being a little naive in thinking i could just spray the paint and clearcoat and be done with it.
Any advice from people with experience?
thx

the m3 lip comes primed, simply spray and clearcoat.
although i'd go over it with some alcohol or something to make sure nothing has adhered to it.
as for the grill trim, you'll need to sand, prime, paint and clearcoat.

yes, it works for any honda, but for an Audi I would pay and have it done professionally. You won't get the imperfections in paint.
