I assume you can drive the car while this is off..? So it must be an afternoon project. And by removing the cover Im not going to mess with any thing right? Dmb question but I know crap about cars just how to drive them lol.. I wanna do this asap. I'm doing my battery cover right now.

I know there hasn't been a post in this thread for 2 years, but I had 2 questions.
1. I accidentally bought sandable primer that was black... will this screw up the color?
and
2. I bought the dupli-color Satin silver metallic (I know i probably should have bought the true mixed colors), but after 3 coats there isn't a nice shiny metallic color to it, it's a bit dull and almost no shine. Will this go away after clear coat, of should I sand it down and spray it again?
Thanks, for any help.

Are you talking about for the engine cover? Primer is always recommended, or a adhesion promoter for plastic. IF you use the high temp paint you used on the brakes, NO, clear is not needed.
