Its really simple honestly. However, with all painting, i HATE it. I used blue ceramic caliper paint from autozone for the grills(had it already) and satin black fusion paint for the body. Essentially take it apart, tape off parts, paint, fix messups (black is awfull with dust and dirt), repaint, fix again, repaint, and live with the minor messups lol. There are imperfections, especially considering its my first time doing it, but it looks nice, or so i think. 
 
Also the color of the blue isnt quite represented properly, but its close enough when flash is off. 


the blue looks fantastic.

Just wanted to update on this: 
 
To anyone who wants to attempt to do so, feel free to do it. It looks nice, and i prefer it over the stock however, make sure to do it right. I somewhat regret it, because I guess i didnt prep correctly, and the paint is coming off very easily from small bumps and knicks. 
 
The proper method would have been to probably wetsand them, then use rubbing alchohol, i skipped the wetsanding process.
 
Also i would advise a clear coat, to protect the overall coat, and prevent knicks again. Overall if i could find a professional painter i trusted, i might consider giving it to them to possibly find a more durable paint.
