This isn't a cheap shot, but bring it to somebody who knows what they are doing. You'll pay for it, but they will do a better job. If you care about what the car looks like, then you will take my advise. You can't just spray it in your back yard and make it look mint. Its a long tedious process to do mint paint work. I work at my buddies shop where I dabble with my own $hit on the side, and it aint easy in the beginning. You need the right equipment, the right environment, and most importantly the know-how (like knowing the difference between primer and sealer). Sorry if you think I'm being harsh, but its the truth...
