Looks great. I may have to do this as well. Nice job and since I am an amateur as well i think I could do this. Great job.

by the way, say someone rubbed up against you while parked and scratched your handwork. Is there enough paint left over to do this job again?

thanks for the link. You guys should check out the video on the automotivetouchup.com site.

They told me a can would do about 6 sf. I applied 2 coats of the adhesion promoter and the can still felt full. 4 coats of primer and I used maybe 1/4 can. 5 base color coats and again, probably used 1/4 of the can. And 4 coats of clear coat. If I knew how to blend in new paint over old, I'd probably touch up all the rock chips on my front end with the leftover paint.

Oh, and buy the trigger adapter that fits over the can. Makes the job a whole lot easier.

You could take the bumper off...let me know if you do it, I would like to know how it turns out

I would love to learn to paint, I know it can't be that hard.
