Painting Rear Diffuser

Hey Guys,

I was thinking about going to a shop to paint my rear diffuser black, but I kind of want to do it myself now.

What are the proper steps to get a good finish that will hold up?

I was thinking:
Sand
5 Layers of paint
3 Layers of clear coat

Am I missing anything? Can anybody chime in that has done this before?

-Frank

The clear coat is overkill. Diffusers look best semi-gloss or slightly dull IMHO.
