Got them all at HomeDepot.
1 bottle of primer (only need 1 coat per item, the flat-black also have some primer in them)
2 bottles out of 4 so far (front lip + rear aprons)

I couldn't find any black primer, all I found was white or grey. I choice grey because it will be black anyways for the top coat.

I haven't found anyone around my area with OEM, I think it is too damn expensive for pieces of plastic... Even the replicas are a little on the expensive side for me

Also, PRO TIP:

Apply the clear coat after all your pieces has been completely dried for at least 48hrs. I can't stress this enough. If you apply it just after the black dries then you will have a gray-ish color instead of more of a flat black.
