Spray painting

How easy to spray paint car parts?

Im wanting to do a few things gloss black, mirror caps being the first thing.

Do i sand first to remove the lacquer and then spray a few coats of paint letting it dry each time and then spray lacquer?

What sandpaper do i use and will i be able to do this outside as i dont have a garage to work in.

Cheers.

A messy business, I wouldn't advise doing it in your lounge...

I was going to do it outside on a dry day

My main problem is the lacquer has peeled on part of one of my mirror caps.

Could i sand the edge of the bit and then spray lacquer over it again, or will i need to redo the whole thing.
