Default Need to paint front license plate cover.

Can I get a decent job from spray paint & clear, or should I just bite the bullet and have it professionally done? Any ideas on cost? The car is a QS 2003 Z06, and the piece is fiberglass. Thanks.

I wouldn't do it with spray paint and stuff, not gonna match the car, have it done by a paint shop.

Ended up not going to a body shop. My buddy sells 18 wheelers, and his mechanic has a paint shop there. $28 for the paint and I gave the guy $20 to prep, spray, and clear it.
