Materials:

1 can Bulldog Paint Adhesion promoter (pep boys)
4 Cans Plasti Kote or Dupli Color paint to match the vehicle, or get it custom mixed.
2 Cans of Plasti Kote Clear Coat
320 Grit Wet Dry sand paper
1600 Grit wet dry sandpaper

Steps:

1. Remove all parts from the vehicle. Take the rear bumper off to get those skirts. Removing rear bumper takes about 10 minutes

2. Wash everything with a strong degreaser.

3. Wet Sand with the 320 grit on all surfaces to get painted. Sand well, remove tar, bugs, crap, scratches

4. Wet sand with the 1600 to smooth it all down

5. Wash with dish soap really well and let dry for several hours

6. Spray the promoter. I did 3 coats on all surfaces. Let dry 30 mintes before applying paint

7. Spray the paint. Thin coats allow for NO RUNS!

8. Spray untill you think its covered well.

9. Let dry for 1.5 hours.

10. Spray the clear coat. Thin coats. Its up to you how much to apply though.

11. I let mine sit in the garage for a full 24 hours to cure, put back on vehicle next day.
