dude I doubt that will be base clear, it will likely be enamel single stage shit paint that will be all orange peeled have a bunch of shit in the paint. At least thats what I have seen form macco.
As far as prep goes, get your self a couple of spray cans of self etching primer some 80 grit paper and some 500 wet/dry paper.
1st sand everything very well with 80 so everything is roughed up really good. then wipe off with some laquer thinner or PPG DX300 (wax and grease remover) wipe with a clean cloth till you stop getting shit on the rag. Let the it dry then spray several light coats of primer on them with a few mins between each coat. let dry over night then mist lightly with black spay paint or other contrasting color as a guide coat (not cover it just so its lightly spotted) this will show you high and low spots. Take a pice of 500 get it wet and wet the surface of what you are working on and go to town. Dont push hard let the paper do the work keep the work picce wet and clean paper often. once all the black is gone its flat. Repeat the DX330 and prime and sand agin. My car has 2 coats of metal self etching all hand blocked between coats and 3 coats of PPG K36 epoxy primer also hand blocked out between coats. Now I am just waiting on booth time and my painter to put some color on it

Is there any threads that show how to prep well, maybe I will start it myself before he gets back from carry/conceal class?Leave a comment:

Back from Maaco w/ prices
I just went to maaco and got some prices for things that need to be repainted on my car. Prices include labor/paint/clear/ everything
Mirrors: 35.00 each
Rear IS spoiler : 75.00
Front IS Air Dam: 125.00
Not to bad but the he said the the front air dam needs a lot of prepping and some bondo so he said it would be almost 300.00 for everything. But he said that I can prep it myself and I happen to have someone in my house that has prepped a whole car minus the bondo for painting.
