I know this has been posted before, some do it with spray guns, some with rattle cans. I know duplicolor makes a color in the rattle cans that perfectly matches my color. I painted my bowtie emblem with this color last summer, sanded with 1500grit W/D sandpaper, primed, painted, cleared. Looks like it did the day I put it on, even after this winter, cost me $10. Now since I'm experienced:rolleyes:, I'm wanting to do more! Starting with the chrome plastic bumper corners. Has anyone done this with red scotch pad, self etch primer in a rattle can, then sprayed with Duplicolor rattle can, Duplicolor clear rattle can? Just wondering how it might have held up over time? Thanks, Chris
