FOR MILL$CIVIC depends how good you are and how large the area your painting is. paint cans have limited pressure thats why you get orange peel look. to get around this first prep the area using 600 grade sand paper, then use the primer meant for your top coat e.g. some white cars have white primer. dark cars normally grey. once youv'e built some layers, then flatten down with 300 grade paper, then get some matt black paint and a apply lite dust coat hold can 2 foot away n let paint fall. then get scotch brite or 300-400 paper and rub down to find imperfections, if any then fill and re do the whole process, then panel wipe to free any dirt resedue and then tack rag to remove any dist particals, then paint, apply a few layers then get warm soapy water and 1000-1500 grade paper and rub down till orange peel gone. then get 3g compond polish and buff till high shine then finalise with top coat polish. hope that all helps bro, any q's then please dont hesitate to ask.
