GREAT JOB once again... how did you end up painting it? I'm planning on doing it this winter.. but not sure how....

Well... Don't laugh...

I went to a well known body shop... Headlight cover in hand... And had them mix me up 3 rattle cans of VR.

Removed pretty much everything, taped everything off and sprayed away. (After a SUPER GOOD CLEAN and sanding.. ) I'm pretty mean with a can, and auto paint is really easy to spray. It looks just like the outside of the car.

Took all of 2 hours to spray the bay with all 3 cans.

It was 11 dollars per can.

That's for the paint and to have it put in the cans.

36 something for 3 cans with tax. Might have been a little more or less.. I bought some other **** too and don't remember what costed what LOL.
