If you want it to look like factory, just use a base coat. No need for hardner or clear. Its a little more delicate, but easy to touch up if you do scratch it. Depends on what look your after. Cecil...........

Just make sure whatever paint you buy is not photo-chemically reactive.

Don't use paint from Home Depot. You would have better results from a acrylic enamel, which is not a base coat clear coat. You just spray it once and your done.
