matt blacks one the hardest colours to do,...
prep wise sand it all down with some p320... pannel wipe, prime, tracey coat it, sand with 500 spray...
then use light coats of matt black as you cant flat it out as it will ad shine, you can buy matt clear though i wud advise using some

If your doing it the cheap way there really isn't much prep. Just clean the car then key the surface with a scowering pad and spray/roller straight on. Over time you will have to touch bits up if you dont use a clear coat
