I need to paint my new front lip, and the sides to match. Been checking out http://www.paintscratch.com/. Looks like it would be about $90 plus shipping for a spray can bumper kit (primer base coat, mid coat, clear coat), which is still not that cheap. I had an old spitfire completely painted with hood rust cleaned up for $99 once...

Anyway, if anyone knows about or has experience with paintscratch.com, let me know. I want it to look good and last a long time, so I'm ok with spending a little more.

I just did mine today, it turned out ok, not bad for ~30 bucks. I used duplicolor because they actually had tafetta white. I have a feeling it wont hold up to well, but the color match is pretty close

to paint it... dont u just sand it down. And then primer it a cpl of times. And then use one of those spray things and put a cpl of coats the lip, then clear coat. I know you have to do it in an enclosed area so no dust or anything gets on it cuz it'll stick. So maybe u can do it in ur garage if you don't have one of those paint booths.
