Right now my 914 is a ugly cream color. It has lots of chips in it to. I have look all over google.com to find steps on how to paint your car but had no luck.. Im also decieding what color I wan't. I have the wood lining inside my car. I was thinking maybe a black/green tint or a black/blue tint sence my car also has the black rubber bumbers. But I first need to sand my car down. I have no clue were to start I do have access to a spray gun but I don't have money to have it done by a pro.

If you want to learn how to do a good job on a cool car, don't learn how to do it on a 914. Too many of them have been messed up this way.
Find a local body shop that works evenings. Volunteer to work a couple of nights for free...

Tracks,

THAT is a brilliant idea on so many levels!!! You learn, while not having to live with the consequences of your mistakes (at least somebody is there to correct them), and earn a clean place to work on your car.

Now I feel extra stupid.
