If you included the parts that your going to paint, or at least as many parts as you possibly can, I would probibly be able to help you out and if not, others would be able to also.

your not going to rattle can the whole car are you?
prime first, then sand the primer, apply paint let dry, if its gritty or has alot of dirt you can sand it with some fine paper, apply more paint, let dry, then clear. rattle can paint only last so long and doesn't have much of a shine compared to a real basecoat/clearcoat paint job. good luck. take your time and be patient.

The method you described in your first post was exactly the method I did when painting my motorcycle. I get complements all the time on the bike. The only thing that I would tell you is that the colors from can to can are sometimes a little off, thankfully you said you were going black, so it should not be that far off.
Take your time and goodluck with a little hard work it will definatley come out nice.

duplicolor makes good stuff just make sure you get the clear to match. for example if you get an enamal paint get an enamal clear. you'll be fine just make sure you sand the primer so it is perfectly smooth. it has to be smooth to the touch and more importantly it has to look smooth. don't leave any pits at all they will show up big time when you shine the paint up.
