but you're painting lips, not parts like your door or something... so the imperfections in your paint job does not stand out as much.. they're pretty unnoticable actually

may not be 10/10 but its a lip...plastic...not a metal part that may need a damn proper job....anyway...here is mine which was a DIY. Done in under $30 and 2 hours of labor time. and by doing so..i saved $100 and bought a rear lip..lol

anyways..I decided to do the job myself and this is how it turned out
before final coat and clear coat
I used duplicolor honda electron blue pearl..colour match isn't 100% but it's very close so it is not that noticeable..ill take better pics in the daytime later

pm jay (team rukus) he does some good work... he helped Bryce out a lot too to get his body back in shape a little. i have heard he has decent prices for just painting lips.

it is prob alil more rough because of floating debris in the air unless u painted it in an inclosed area and did alot of prep around the environment there will be some rough specs bc of it, otherwise its pretty smooth and all. but dont worry as the bugs rocks etc start hitting up on it or hills n bumps those rough specs wont matter too much anymore=P

right on jeff.....with a DIY....you cant get the smoothness of OEM finish...i usually use three coats of primer, four coats of paint and then like 6-7 coats of clear....it looks cool and alright but its still kinda rough to touch....fine with me.
