If its only a hood and wing have it done by a reputable body shop. You would have to buy the paint,( I'm assuming basecoat/clear is what you have on your car) the clear, the reducers and hardener,and primer, pre-kleeno etc. Also a decent quality gun. When do do get all that stuff price it out versus what a body shop would charge you. Since it is your first job at tackling paint in all likely hood it wont turn out as well as you like since it takes practice and skill. Then you will have to "fix it" to make it look better. The cost will probably end up higher than a body shop. Don't practice on your own car when learing how to paint. If you really have your heart set on it the paint code will be on the drivers door info on the jamb.

Better off having a professional do it. Do your research and practice on scrap items first.
