if u wanna do it the semi-pro way like me and my friends, u might wanna get some degreaser, lots of sandpaper, a compressor, gun, tarp and ventillation, paint, and clear coat.

o dont forget body filler if u attract accidents like me

If you take lots of time you can rattle can them and look nice, I did this with my body filler pieces, I just sanded them down a bit, put light coats on witha few minutes between each.

take off trunk

Take off the trunk and just rattle can it. If your just doing flat black there's no need to be professional about it. Just take your time and make sure it's sanded down good. Plus, you're getting it painted in April, so even if there are mistakes, you only have to live with them for a little bit.

ye i know but wat grit should i start with ? and should i prime it? wat paint should i use

I don't remember the proper terminology, but for automotive paint there is the equivalent of latex and oil base paint. I think it's laquar and urathane. Anyway, use the urathane. Thay can't be mixed. If you use a laquar base and than a urathane top coat the paint will blister and lift off just like you had used paint remover.
