Okay, another CETA complete thread ... lol Did the job but not so well ... 
... there were cracks in the bumper/paint (the main reason I decided to do this; to cover that shyzer up) and when I wiped it all off with thinner (to get the wax/etc. off), it had soaked into the cracks. So and even after I washed and wiped, used a tack cloth on it and then applied the adhesion promoter ... it was still evaporating and when I applied the color, it started bubbling in those places. ****! Lost interest after that ... Did what I can for now, looks decent from far but I know the next time I wash it, it's gonna flake off in those areas. **** ****! Gonna have to get the whole rear end prof. painted in the future 'cos the bumper and p/s fender seem have have been painted with a quick and crappy paint job in the past. For now, I'm just glad it's satin finish (used SUV/Truck bumper paint from a rattle can), I can keep touching it up
Now, need to re-mount the exhaust tips and it'll be ready to go!

did you sand at all? when i did my mini ceta i sanded it down then cleaned it up and what not, then shot it...sanding the surface to promote adhesion would've helped if you didn't do it.

Edit: took more pics of the completed job with everything mounted and in daylight yesterday, will post them up tonight when I get home. I take pics in RAW format so I can't just upload them when I want, have to go through the whole Photoshop process ...

Some of the latest pics ... sorry they're a bit dark 'cos the sun was about to set and I couldn't get on photoshop 'cos I'm not home (just converted on the camera).
