It's best to spray paint outdoors and use a spray paint mask with organic vapor cartridges to protect yourself from spray paint fumes. If you need more airflow to direct the spray paint away from you, use some fans or other ventilation equipment.

Set out your spray cans and shake them. Have other materials handy.

If there are rough or rusty spots, sand them and prime them. Make sure the car is free of dust.

When the primer is dry use the masking tape to cover up spots that you don't want to paint. Alternatively you can use duct tape or painters tape. Use the newspaper to cover big areas like windows. Make sure the tape is firmly pressed down so that there is no paint seeping underneath it. You can spray a light coat of clear along the edges of the tape that are on the surface to be painted. Let this dry before proceeding. This will ensure that the line is very straight.

When your paint is dry, apply the gloss coat

When Gloss coat is dry, remove the masking tape and newspaper. If paint has gotten into places you do not want it, you can use a solvent and a rag to remove it.
