It's really not that hard to do, don't worry. Everyone can tell you different ways of how they did it, personally I'd recommend sanding the panel down, spray with a few coats of primer, sand it again to make sure it's really smooth, and then spray your base. *IF* you decide to use clearcoat and have a glossy, wetsand the base so it's nice and smooth (black will show ANY irregularities in the paint) and then spray a few coats of clear. Once that's all done, wetsand again. Just take your time, allow everything to dry 100% inbetween coats, and when you wetsand, really take your time.

 

take ur time, thats probably the most important step. And do what was said above for a quality peice! Goodluck!

dont worry about screwing it up, my suggestion would be to get a spare one

get some fairly fine sand paper, just enough to rough up the surface, and then use your wal mart matte black bumper paint. results in my WWW
