i got a new LIP!! Need help.

hey peoples. i just bought the nismo lip from someone here on the forum. only problem is its painted liquid platinum and my car is IP. my plan is to strip the paint, sand and repaint it IP. any tips and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. how do i strip the paint? should i just sand the paint off? i know i have to primer the lip, then paint the lip. i plan on wet sanding also just to get a smooth finish.

Scroll down to Nissan Parts and they call the front chin spoiler a Front Protector.
This is the only place to get it so far.

IP is a hard colour to match, i think you're best off to take it to a shop to match it.

Just call in your VIN number to your dealer. Should have no problem matching the paint.

just bring it to any reputable shop, they should be able to do it. If you bring it to a hole in the wall, don't expect the best work. It seems like you're planning to DIY, which is fine, but if you're not experienced with painting, a white pearl is really tough, especially b/c the primer can effect the shade of white it comes out to be...
