Default Paint help... / tips

Well latly I've been looking into the whole "$50 paint job" on Honda-Tech etc... Which I want to 1st test it all out on my new driver's side fender / door. There gray, and the car is black. I pretty much get the idea to wetsand, fix any imperfections... w/e

The car's factory black. Just wondering if anyone has any tips or suggestions... places to buy good paint (I mean I know Home Dep...) , paint brand or w/e
Thanks for the read

Yeah I've been told prep is like #1 thing... I realy hope it turns out like the pictures I've seen... I mean painting black on black isnt like black on white... Haha Having to paint EVERYTHING! Would be a major pain in the ass...

if ur gonna spend the time sanding it, just go the rest of the way and do it right (body work, etc.).. u will b more happy in the end when its all one color instead of sweet custom rattle can primer..
