You need to check your paint code. You want the color to match, don't you?
Why don't you have the paint shop paint it for you? Unless you really know how to paint, go for it.

well i know the color code for my car

its just that i wanted to try it on my own and i really dont wanna pay high prices at the shop.

i mean if i could somehow match the color, i rather do it myself and since its black it would be pretty easy to match the color.

if not i will take it to the shop.

i just wanted to find out what kind of paint you guys use.

wrong. Black is alot harder to match the color than a light colored car. You can get spray paint mixed up with your color code and do it yourself, but it wont look good. Trust me, I do my own body work, save up and get it done professionally.

Check my website in the how to section. I painted the lower part of my bumper with spray cans and it came out perfect. I think it's easier these days with color and clearcoat being seperate. The color coat is flat so you may not see imperfections that you would see when the clearcoat is on and shiney so what I do is mist the color coat with a clear liquid (I prefer naptha because it dries quickly and leaves no residue) and that will make it temporarily shiny.
