HI GUYS

I used simple material that you can buy in repco o whatever is handy for you.
I'm working in a proper DIY document but i want to show my result first.
material
sand paper from 250 to 800 ($20 approx.)
2 prime for plastic 400 g ... (tick) ($40 approx.)
2 cans of colors 400 g. duplicolor ($40 approx.)
1 can of clear duplicolor ($20 approx.)
CLEANER for plastic , hot water to heat the cans, microfiber cloth.
and that's all this was the result.
and now I need to install it ... mmm and I don't know how hehehehehe.
I was thinking in bring the bumper down and install it ... i don't know, any suggestions ?

Nice work, definitely a cheaper alternative
Mine being A31 silver it'd be a lot harder to match the paint, and I'd prefer to to be the exact same, so I'll get mine done professionally :p
+1 for effort

you are right the difference between the blacks is minimal, other colors will be difficult to match.
even though repco make mix paint to match the color , will be 50 dollars for a 350 g can .
but professionally is always the best.
This is just me, I like work with my hands and do it by my self ... THANKS FOR THE +1

Looks pretty good Armando, I like how you masked off the very bottom and left it Matte.
