my car is getting some replacement parts which come primed in black. my car is gloss black. is it difficult to paint things like the bumpers and doors? it doesnt have to be perfect, i just want them to shine so it blends in with the rest of the car

what should i use?
are the cans of duplicolor at autozone any good?

id say no cus it takes alot of practice even with the right tools to get it right and dont use spray cans its not a good job with those at all

I have painted small parts for my car-stuff like interior parts. I also painted the side mirrors on my car, they came out fine. Never tried entire body panels or anything large.
Just find a good quality primer and paint and take your time.
