Default How to paint a hood ?

Hi,

I have a Z31 coupe. The paint's clearcoat is coming off in many places. I thought it could look cool if the hood was painted a black, grey, or carbon fiber color.

Can someone tell me the basic steps to painting a hood with clear coat coming off ? Can I use cheap spray paint ?

The alternative is buying a carbon fiber hood on zcarparts.com for over $800. Since the car is worth twice that, it's probably not worth it.

Any tips or advice is appreciated. Thanks
