yupp...

1. 2 coats of primer
2. 3 coats of paint
3. 2 coats of clear coat... gonna throw another one on tomorrow...

if it chips after a while i can just take it off and re-do it for how cheap it was...

onlyhyon let me know if you wanna have yours done and i can come meet up with you and help or do it for you for a bit of cash...

i made few clay model at my school...and TERRIBLE dupli color is not strong enough... u ll get rock chip very soon... alot of them... there is store in pasadena selling automotive paint...they can make the color for you too...
but it is not spray paint so u ll have to buy airbrush and etc..
i was going to get my grill done but school won't let me use shop for other use beside school project..
i hope you won't get roch chips... BUT if you get it... do not use DUPLI COLOR or any other spray paint...so i think it is cheaper for you to get it done by professional...

good ^^ i thought you spray paint it
if you did buy good quaility automotive paint and used airbrush you will not get rock chip...i mean paint quality will be just like your bumper or your orginal chrome piece
