It was VERY easy. I did mine in a couple hours. You can get 'semi gloss black' spray paint from lowe's and it matches the berger black color almost exactly. Hit up a local junkyard to save shipping costs...I found one for $35 I think? Wetsanded it, primered it, sanded the primer, and shot it black.
It's VERY hard to mess this up, this color of black paint is extremely forgiving. I went through one can going lightly over it. The paint was lowe's brand and it goes on real light unless you go with really thick coats. I finished the rest of it with the 2nd can once I figured that out. Let it dry and then go back over it with a wax compound and it smoothes to out perfectly. One of the easiest and cheapest appearance mods you can do yourself.
