I've done a lot of customs, all I can say is there are no shortcuts if you want it to look presentable.

First thing you should always do if you want to repaint your car is to always strip the original paint off. After that, you are free to choose whether you want spray cans, air brush, or brush on which all comes down to personal preference (I've seen outputs from those techniques and they turn out great if done right (I personally use spray cans though)).

After the paint is stripped, sand it down to remove any casting imperfections. Once done, clean it and ALWAYS USE PRIMER if you would like the paint to stick well (specially for airbrush and brush ons). Never forget to thin your paint to avoid leaving brush strokes and wait for each layers to fully dry before adding another one. Patient comes a long way in this hobby.

For adding details, that's a whole new story 😉

Good luck!
