Idiot attempts to paint

If anyone knows anything about what is needed to paint a car professionally, I'm in the process of learning how to paint and I'm wondering what thinners and other items are needed in a black sapphire metallic paint. There's a lot of information out there and I really only need information on what to mix with the paint and what clear coat to use.

Go on eBay and insert your color code and there are sellers who sell kits with thinner, base, and clear

Thanks for the tip. I've been dying to touch up my front bumper.

I always got my paint from expresspaint.com

Wet the floor when you spray. It will help keep dust down
