It is rare for a backyard job to look good, It takes years to learn how to paint a car well. Do your self a favour , find a pro to give advice on the prep and pay him to apply colour + clear coats in a booth.
use a good 4:1 primer - dont skimp on the quality here, the coverage and fill it will give you will save lots of paint defects later (pinholes etc).

the guys are right about prep though - you cant do enough.

Every single repsray these days has bog init. No matter what you think even brand new panels - factory original parts can sometimes need a thin skin of filler to get them up to scratch.

how do you think all those show cars are so straight - noone file finishes anymore - its all filler.

Bog is OK when applied by a pro - in the right way - you wont get shrinkback.

GOOD LUCK - you will need it.
