Hey guys, i wanted too get into the hobby of spray painting a spare bumper bar I got. I figured i'd shave off the side trims and fill them up with fibreglass and sand the whole bumper bar back, and prep it then paint it

but i wanted some tips, now i know i am going too need a 8+ CFM air compressor because ill get orange peel if i dont but im probably just gonna get a 4 CFM air compressor plus a regulator and put up with the refill delay (im only doing a bumper bar probably wont bump into any problems but just incase)

ive done a lot of research and seen stuff available like
- 2 pack paint (probably avoid since i dont have the gear for it)
- water based (is that what all panel beaters use?)
- acryllic (no idea here)

where could i also get the actual paint from ? honda themselves?

Hey bro want to know I will ask a mate of mine his a panel beater, The best way is 2 pack paint bro, but for acrylic thats paint such as matt black or just plain white. If you want the pain any hardware stores will do, just give them the colour code you want it in.
