I have painted a lot of cars.
If you are fitting aftermarket fenders and bumpers extra work involved.Use the best Primer, paint,clear,activator.Need to get body flat and perfect.Better than factory.Prime and block sand.The body prep is 80% of the job..Several coats of paint to lay down.I will put 3 coats of high soild clear on top of that.Then I will sand and buff the clear to get a glass finish. I do not mean to be rude but to get the finish I like is a lot of work.Easy100hrs.
