So 1500 grit automotive sand paper around $3
Then automotive primer
And i actually found auto spray paint that matched my car very close.
There are color codes for each car if you want to get exact and order of line for around 15 bucks plus shipping.
Also some Good clear coat.
Ill look in my garage in a min and get the names of primer and clear that has worked very well.
But basically its
You want to allow say 15-30 min between coats depending on how much of a hurry your in.
But i hand wash my car and its as strong as the factory paint no chipping, fading or bubbling.
