Thumbs up painted my bumper cap

Just used Duplicolor adhesion promoter, Duplicolor filler Primer, Duplicolor base, and Duplicolor clear from autozone. I think it turned out pretty good. There are some flaws but I did paint it outside in the open air. It still feels like glass!

I hand sanded it with some 320 then 400 to get about half of the texture out. Then I used filler primer and 400 and the 600 before I put the base on.

Thanks for the compliments everyone!

It just takes a little patience to get the cap off.

thats looks real good for being rattle can. all in all, how much did it cost you? And does anybody know how much a body shop would cost to do that?
