BEATv1,

You won't have any problems matching black. You could put up some plastic sheets to protect any overspray in the garage, but with the new guns, over spray really isn't much of a problem, at least not like it use to be. Base coats go on like primer, if you miss up, just wait for it to dry and sand it off, then reshoot. The clear coat could be tricky but if you take your time, spray it a little dry (until you're more accomplished) and just build up the coats, you will be alright. Bluffing is the key and you could probably find a guy who details cars to buff it out for you. Since you will be spraying it kind of dry, you will have orange peel, just wet sand it down with 1000 grit until all the orange peel is gone and it's totally flat, no shinny spots of orange peel, then take it to your buffer and it will come out beautiful. If you do get a run, (in the clear coat) put some masking tape on both sides of it and then take your time wet sanding it (even as course as 400) until it's flat, you will have to take the tape off and look at it several times, being super careful not to sand the surrounding area, once it's level, wet sand it with the 1000 and buff it out. Watch a couple of videos on painting and you'll do it well. Worst case - you take it to Maaco. If you go to Maaco, ask them if they are using a base coat, clear coat combination and not a single stage paint.

Hope it helps,

Dave
