Painting Fiberglass hood

Hi all, have never painted before but I'm going to start baby steps when my fiberglass hood arrives. I'll fit and adjust it first and drill the holes for the hood pins. Planning on hitting it with matte black... I mean.. how badly can I mess that up? :rolleyes:

I have a compressor and am planning on buying a basic gravity primer and paint kit, something along these lines: DeVilbiss 802343 DeVilbiss StartingLine HVLP Gravity Feed Paint and Primer Spray Gun Kits | Summit Racing
If you think there is a better starter kit, pls post up a link.

The hood comes with gray gel-coat finish. I'm thinking sand, seal and shoot. Am I missing anything? Any special considerations working with fiberglass?
