Default tips on painting ebay lip?

bought the ebay polyurethane lip couple of days ago and was wondering if anyone has any input on how to paint the lip? As in exactly what paint, primer, etc. to use on it? Or should i just get it painted by a shop? If you guys have any pics of your DIY paintjob on your lip post up some pics if you can thanks

since the ap1 lip is fairly small, i decided to paint my ebay one too, i just sanded it down, went to home depot's paint department and bought the rattle can primer, gloss red, and a bottle of clearcoat from kragens, painted in the backyard and it came out i'd say 95% matched

silverstone im not sure, you can look for colors close to it but it wont match so well, if u buy paint from honda, might as well have them paint it.

i'll post a pic of my lip after i get off work.

what grit did you use to sand down the lip horse110? and how many layers of each primer, paint and clearcoat did you use?
