Are you going to do the painting yourself?
or
Do you just need a guinea pig to test out a shop's work?

I'll be doing the painting myself. IT might not be as good as the bodyshop since i will not be working in a dust free environment. If some of you are near SF you can come out to check out my rear lip i painted. Its a perfect match except that its not as smooth as i like it to be which is fine since its on the bottom anyways.

My good friend that use to paint cars for a living told me if you are working in an enviroment that isn't dust free, you should take about a 5 - 10 ft piece of chain and attach it to the frame of the car and have it running out from under the car. It helps to keep dust from being attracted to the car.
If i wasn't as broke as i am and needing new tires i'd be your test subject. Hope you get a taker and that it works out.
