ive done several myself... best advice i can give is take your time!
you want to leave at least a whole day between the stages of applying the primer, base coat and laquer. You only want very fine coats too, dont aim to cover the whole section in 1 coat, its best not to! 3 or 4 coats at each stage of spraying is ideal. whole process from start to finish may well take a week.
the secret to success is in the preperation, so make sure you've got various grades of wet n dry paper at the ready to use between layers.
oh and finally, dont spray them and chuck them on your car... after the laquer leave them for 4 or 5 days in the dry to harden properly. Then polish them with a decent polish before putting them on your car!
if you dont do any of the above, they WILL look rubbish

Yeh car looks good, i wanna do the same. That price seems good but being a student might have to DIY it. Need to get those handles done, you have to take out the door card and entire door trim off to unscrew the handle tho, so i read on some translated french page.
Anyone fancy telling me the best way to prepare it and with what grades wet and dry to use, would appreciate it. Am a novice.
