i am the worst spray painter ever. im talking like i cant paint a line on a sidewall without runs. i did the ceta on my car with the bumper on the car and it came out awesome. there is one very very small tape edge that isnt perfectly lined up with the other one next to it but other than that is came out great, for 12 bucks

My friend got his done for $80 with a gloss/clear finish. I did mine with only 1 can of primer and 1 can of Krylon Semi-Flat.. I didn't clear it because I did not want it glossy.

I agree with the guy that said TRY it yourself first. If it get all fu**ed up, no big deal, the body shop will take care of all that. If it comes out great, you save $180. Weigh that on the scales.

All you need to do is wet sand it... tape it off... cover your other body panels with some garbage bags....use some black primer... a few coats of whatever black you're using... and some clear coat, and you're set. Will cost you under $20.
