So i bought a set of 02 door cups to paint and put into my stang. I am wanting a very smooth and shiney look to them. They will be black. I have 200, 600, and 1000 grit sand paper. I have duplicolor filler primer to prime them up and sand them to get them nice and smooth. But my question is what kind of paint should i use on these? I want a smooth wet look. Also i think i would have to clear them too. What kind of clear should i use? Rattle can? Thanks guys.

i did this yesturday on the passenger side. that was the worst one.

i stripped them down for a very long time. lets just say i ran into a few problems. LOL

i painted them with a rattle can. black base and then clear.

i'm gonna wet sand and polish after a few days. it looks alot better then the drivers side which is still stock

I've seen some pretty impressive results from rattle cans. I don't have any advice for you though; I know nothing about body/paint work. I would definately clear coat it though.
