    What you have to keep in mind is that you are a complete and total IDIOT for wanting to do this in the first place. What are you going to do when the FAD has passed and people go back to shiny paint jobs? It will cost you THOUSANDS of dollars to respray your car to get back the original gloss black finish.

    No matter what you do, it won't look good unless you have some experience. Take it to a paint and body shop to get a guesstimate.
