Toyota Own Spray paint from the Dealership and Toyota Own Laquer specifically for my Colour Black (211)

I would use primr and sand each layer with 2400 grit then same with colour then a coat of clear laquer to get the effect but that's the way that I would of done it

right so i need to get some primer ok what about the paint itself it seems its crap :| also would i need to buy new parts since they have already been painted black once or could i use paint stripper and start again?

Yeh get the paint off and start again.

Nice three or four layers of primer, then four coats of paint, and seven coats of lacquer, that's what I have done with anything I paint on interiors.

I once made a grill using the same technique;

I have also painted parts in a prelude, just to give you the idea of what it looks like with so much lacquer;
