First off, you wanna use very smooth sandpaper. Something that's 600 grit or smoother works great. Then grab a spray can and hold it about a foot away while spraying in a sweeping one side to the other motion to get an even coat. After it dries, you can block off certain areas with masking tape and paper to fill-in different-colored details with a paintbrush. Let that dry, then take off all masking. Voila!
