Paint Job

Hey yall was sup
I just got a body kit for my car and wanted some tips on painting it. I have a spray gun and compressor and bought black paint that was used by the factory to paint my car. I would like to paint the new bumper and sideskirts, and parts of the worn off paint thats already on the doors and body. I just want to know, how can i make all the colors match becuase im pretty sure if i paint my body kit, that the new paint will have a better shine than the one already on the car. How can i make the whole body have this shine so it is not obvious that i painted some parts of the car? Any suggestions?thnx

Re: Paint Job

I suggestion repainting the entire car. Just a quick tip, painting involves lots of technique for a good paint job, I'd suggest practicing, or taking it to a professional (not Macco).

What brand and type black paint did you buy? Did you buy sealers and primers and clears?
