BTW, I used paint from paintscratch.com. Great stuff.


What do you mean "scuffed"? And did you use the spray paint or a spray gun? Yours looks very nice i want to do the rear reflector and the front grille. i may do my side skirts as well if the other two come out nice. And did you polish yours or just apply the clearcoat?



I mean get the surface a little rough, use some fine sandpaper for this. It helps the paint stick better. If you dont sand the reflector a little, the paint wont last and it will peel off easy. I used a spray can. I had access to a gun, but I was too impatient to go that route.
I didnt polish it, I just sprayed a couple coats of clear, and put it back on the car.
The reflector and grille will be ok doing it with a spray can, but IMO, I would use a gun for larger pieces like the side skirts.
