o yea.. i used it to paint my ITR lip and side skirts.. one and a half cans pretty much got the job done... just make sure you do a good job of prepping it, cause on mine u can still see fine scratches cause i got lazy sanding it.. I also picked up a can of this "bulldog" paint adhesive stuff too, and just went to the local Kragen to get some clear coat.. good luck man!

mine turned out pretty decent.. definitely not body shop quality, but good enough for me.. luckily im not a perfectionist lot of people cant tell i did it myself, and say it looks good... but after i tell them, or point out imperfections they see it right away.. at a distance it looks good though.. The paint matched pretty much perfectly with my stock paint, but under bright sunlight it doesnt have the shiny glossy appearance quite like stock.. overall im pretty happy with the turnout.

i honestly dont remember.. and it was so long ago that i lost the receipt.. but i think the paint was like 14 bucks a can.. I got two to be safe, and about one and a half was enough for my lip and side skirts.. also picked up some stuff called "bulldog" paint adhesive.. think that was like 8 or 9 bucks.. so roughly maybe like 40 shipped? o yea, and got clear coat from Kragen for like 6 i think..
