man up dude. Ask any of my boys. I'm the laziest freakin modder in my team. And I did this one all by myself. After the removal of your bumper, it literally took me 30 minutes from sanding to priming to painting and clear. Not to mention i used a hair dryer to help. I even had time to paint my bow tie.

Yeah, 90% of the rest of us followed his thread about his paint job lol.
Btw, good pick on the orange balt. Everyone knows sunburst is the best color

Haha, I want to.
But I muffed my bowtie when I did it. Granted it was my first paintjob ever lol.
I'm just afraid to muff it, so I'd rather get it done by someone with a paint gun rather than my half ass rattle job that would look like poo and chip up lol.

the secret to any decent paint job is wetsanding in between coats. It gets out the impurities and smooths the surface so it makes it look nice an shiney. Trust me, I'm mexican. My soul purpose in life is to make things shiney...

it's not that hard. In fact the hardest part is taping it down. Make sure the tape lines are straight. You'll be fine. I've helped everyone i know vht their taillights and I've painted my wheels twice. I've fucked **** up before, but you can always fix it. Just identify when you've fucked up and stop. That's the problem with most people. They **** up and keep going.
