CETA-ing, Clear Coat? What paint is best? Ok i finally decided I want my bumper ceta-ed. I thought about doing it myself but not sure about that yet. If a shop wouldnt charge a bunch I would just pay to do it but dont know how much it would be, never checked around. If I do it myself what spray can is best to use? Ill prob be hitting advanced auto to buy it if I indeed do it. And a good primer. I am going for gloss black. I would rather not have to mess with clearing it or sanding on it (other than roughing for primer) can I get it to turn out good looking and long lasting without like wetsanding and clearing it? Also how much would a shop charge to do it "right"? What you think???

Id buy Dupli-color, as I've had good results with it. I've never done the CETA mod, but I'd say you'd have to first sand down some of your clear coat on that area, to ensure a good adhesion with the paint. Everything after that is going to be regular paint prep work.
I'd estimate around 350$ for a paint shop to do it.
