Yea I agree

Also I used two cans of primer two cans of duplicolor wheel paint and two cans of duplicolor wheel clear coat.

But the real work came in with the mind trick's, took me a few months to master.

if you hit it with a metal object it will chip.

then you get a q-tip spray some primer on the q tip blot the chip

then spray paint on the other end of the qtip blot the chip

then spray clear on another q tip blot the chip

chip fixed.

if you royally mess it up sand it all down primer paint clear.

I advise you to do lots of research on it.. its not a simple DIY takes a while if you want it to look good.

Hit me up for those teins man I'll roll out to help with the install.

let me know when your gonna paint those sides see if he will give us a discount if we get them both done at the same time.

I should have my bumper sanded by then as well.
