Advice on Painting my Lips

i want to paint my lips but i want to do it myself. i dont want to pay an arm and a leg to get my lips painted by someone else. so for you guys that have done it yourself do you have any advice for me, i know how to paint so im not really a NOOB at it. but done correctly will the lips be able to stand up to the elements.

im planning to do this my self but it is VERY hard to correctly match the color for cars, even with the exact paint code because the paint already on the body my have some "sun fading" and the new paint wont....worth the try tho...

It's not that hard if you know how to spray paint. Invest in one of those $3 spray paint can handles, they make life WAY easier. I painted my bumper and it came out splendid, just gotta be confident that you can do it, prime, sand it good to get it nice and smooth, and make sure to get the same plastikote or whatever clear coat, and coat it well as well, and you'll be aight.
