Do you know how to do body work,like sanding,color sanding,etc?If not,read up on it and practice on an old hood or fender somewhere,then approach your car.You'll need to sand it and make sure everything is nice and well done,then,spray the paint (you probably won't need primer if you're using grey,black would suck),then,go back and smooth out the paint with some 1000,1500,and 2000 grit,then clear,let it dry and cure,the buff it out.To do it right can take a while,and you'll have to really mask off the car well to prevent overspray from getting on the good paint.If the paint is metallic on your car,use a good metallic dark grey,like a charcoal grey,etc.(there are many shades of grey),and use an auto paint,not Krylon or anything like that.Take your time and do it right.You'll appreciate your work,and be glad you took the time.Make sure you wet sand the areas to be painted well,and use a good chemical (whatever you like,I like the pre-paint cleaning cloths) to wipe the surface down,and a tac clothto remove the dust.Good luck.

Go buy a stereo installation kit so you don't have to cut the factory harness.

How are Kenwoods downgrading? Do you have Diamond or Alpine or something in your doors? Thats a helluva deal for free. Please buy and install kit it wires up easy as hell. And paint your car the right way. Spray can is no good unless you know what your doing, and then its not always good.
