Ceta Help? I have a 1995 Red TA. and want to do the ceta mod. Searched the 75 threads on here about ceta mods and couldn't find how or what I need to do it? Want to do it right, gloss, flat or satin on a red TA? I show the car so I think it should look alright? Also, I have white leather on my convertible would that make the ceta look bad since I don't have dark interior or would that even matter?

OK, first off there is no need to remove the bumper from the car in my eyes. Here are a few pictures with step by step instructions. The list of things you will need to me is only the following:
Blue or Green clean release tape
Plastic
Paint and primer of some sort (duplicolor works good if you want it in a spray can)
800 grit wet sand paper
Degreaser/dawn dishsoap and water
The first thing I did was to wash the bumper with degreaser, or dawn dishsoap and dry. This is to ensure you dont grind whateer might be on the paint into it when you sand. Then tape off the bumper to make sure I had no over spray. I did the under side too. Also make sure to tape off the license plate light. It was easy for me to do it on the car, because I dont have exhaust tips back there. You could easily drop the back 2 hangers if you need too instead of removing the bumper. Next i sanded the area with 800 grit sand paper, to have a nice surface that the paint and primer can bond too. Next I primed the surface lightly. Let that dry, and paint. I had 3 coats of paint. i used an acrylic that didnt require a clear coat, and is gloss black. Came out perfect. Here is a few pictures.
