My Review: This website provides awesome paint. Their paint matched mine perfectly. I did my lowers today.

Here's a teaser pic with my cell phone.

how did you prime your side panels? did you have any scratches or anything on them? Reason I ask is because I am looking to do something similar, but one side of my panels are fairly rough.

Also, do you think it would be hard to go back to OE black if I end up not liking the results? Did you do yours with a rattlecan?

Yes, I did it all with spraycans. Bought 5 basecoats, 4 primers, and 4 gloss.

Sidepanels? Just sand sand sand until they're as smooth as you want. Use some filler primer, wetsands, basecoat and gloss. No scratches anywhere on any of the newly painted parts. Its not as glossy as the rest of the bumper yet because paintscratch's paint really requires you to use rubbng compound, which I have not gotten to yet. However, after I painted my old eyebrows and use their rubbing combound it was just as glossy if not more than the rest of the car.

antieb, did you get the gloss on your lowers to eventually match the body paint? our cars are the same colour.

It's pretty close but not 100% perfect.

Pics as promised. I'm extremely happy with the results. Still need to buff out the shine, but haven't had the time.
