Looking good there! some subtle changes can really change the overall apperaence of a car. Like you choice of color on the calipers, mine are also white

Prefer the black badged OE grill - but liking what you've done to your car anyway

So did you spray the bottom of the front bumper in the end?

I was told spray cans dont give a good enough finish to the painting. I was told to use an air brush if poss... but the guy in halfords sed the airbrushes are too small for spraying the strips and the front strip.

So wondering if anyone here has spray painted their strips with canned spray paints and whats the finish like?
Spray cans job would probably cost about Â£40-50 and using an air brush will cost about Â£70 odd with a more professional finish... and body shops actual paint the car fully professionally done for around Â£100.

nar not yet.

still gotta find out the actual name of the red colour of my car so i can get the paint. thiknin whether it would actually look as good on a red car??????

i read somewhere a walkthrough for spraying it using the can but cant remember it.
goes like sand, primer, san, primer, sand, colour coat, sand......(4-5 colour coats). the lots of laquer thin coats.
