If it's your first time, go to a scrappy and get a spare set, and spray them, (probably costs around £10 for a set). If it turns out alright, shove 'em on. If not, bin them, and you've only lost 10 knicker plus the cost of the paint

buy same colour paint as your car by matching the colour codes, IIRC the code is either on the stamp on the inside of one of the doors or engine bay but someone else probably can confirm. There are some good spraying guides on here also, few base coats of primer, paint then laquer.
Lucky you not many people own a GTi as their first car! good work on the brakes too, impressive for a newbie!
