Well a quick run down of things you could do.

First off , are you using a compressor and gun? or rattlecans.

You need to sand off the shine off the hood so that the primers/undercoat can tooth itself to the surface , ( not to aggressive just enough gritt to accomplish the job ).

You then need to prime the surface with a primer that is suitable for your paint? is it celly is it waterbased is it 2pac or basecoat , enamel?. Anyway you can get advice from your paintshop.

Once the primer is on and the surface has no defects you then need to wetsand for a super smooth surface.

Get your cans or gun etc and spray your surface with smooth overlapping motions , getting the right distance and is important , also watching how you come off at the end of the pannel. The key is equal and steady motions for a consistent finish.

Depending if your using a single stage paint or a basecoat you then need to apply a clear. Once a applied wetsand this then polish with a cutting compound.

That is a very very basic run down.

You need to research your paint thinning ratios , filler for defects , masking tape and tips on good prep.

Painting in any form is all in the prep , good prep makes a good job!.

Good luck but i would just type into google ? automotive painting for beginners.

Also do some reading on the different paints , you could just primer then use a single gloss enamel for a shiny finish. Oldschool and all
