Good luck.  If you want it to look good you can wet sand it when you're done with 1500 grit and then clear coat.  That's the only way I've been able to get a good looking paint job out of rattle cans on large surfaces.

     If you don't do some thing to seal the paint, the first time and every time you wash it the paint will run off with the water.

just a tip. paint your tires black like the type of grill (bbq) black. they wont look shinny but they will look new. idk if reg black paint will work but we used it on big trucks after painting them
