Its easy really if u prep it yourself, sand em down, filler primer more sanding n sprayin, jus keep doing it till there smooth as a babys bumb, then i wud suggest u get the top coat done by a pro!

i\'ve colour coded my bumpers before, just the small black strip on the front and rear and also the arches.

if your gonna do it yourself, take your time, and make sure u prime, paint and laquer it etc properly

but i would recomment going to a bodyshop coz mine started peeling after a few months

my new car i let the body shop do all that sorta work
