Got my paint supplies!
Guess how much they cost me? ~$180!!! 
I had to buy a crap load of things. I had to buy adhesion promoter for plastic parts. I had to buy primer and primer activator (hardener). I had to buy clearcoat and base coat and activator for them as well. I bought enough to prime my whole car and paint half of it. Damn! Then I could buy a quart more of base coat (only ~$30) and paint my whole freakin' car.
Either today or tomorrow I will be painting some of my things. I have the RS Grille to paint, and maybe I'll be painting the door handles and the mirrors. We'll see about that though... Anyone interested in checking this process out? If you go to this one store to get paint for your car, then we can paint some of your stuff as well...

When you get good, it is time for custom paint jobs and designs and stuff. Grey you might as well open up shop at your house, making pedals, painting stuff, and all the DIY things you do!!
