You can match the paint color of a factory paint job, but it's damn near impossible to apply a good clear coat without a proper paint gun and paint. I keep hearing consumer grade clear coat is no good.

Frankly, it amazes me that people are already considering painting these cars... the vast majority of them are less than a year old. Is the paint made of butter?
