Wanted DIY

So i bought an extra emblem, and im deciding to paint it bms. I would like a quick diy, i think it should be similiar to the grill but different in ways. Im going to do the glossy look. I want to do OB on the front grill and the rear mt fugi emblem. If i do OB on the front and a gloss black on the back would there be a noticable difference.

Can you guys reccommend paint, sand papper, what to use for the clear coat.. how many times i should coat each the paint and the clear coat just to get the glossiest look around. =) thanks guys

Grid 400 sand paper
1 large can of primer Dupli color in black
1 large can of gloss black paint Dupli color
1 large can of clear coat Dupli color

Those are the materials you need.
You should be good
that should be enough for your grill and emblem
