WOW, I am amazed! I had my doubts as I scrolled through your post, but the end results eliminate most of them!
If you don't mind telling, how much do you think you spent in time and money (on supplies) overall?

It was basically a 2 day project. Allowing it to fully dry took the longest. I purchased sandpaper, primer, paint to much my car and clear coat which all cost me around 25 bucks!!

So guys, I tried out this DIY and I'm really happy with the results.
First off, I want to thank OP for helping me out when I had questions etc. he was there to respond in really good details (even though it was already good enough on this thread lol) Really cool dude though! And second, I'm a real amateur when it comes to painting my own stuff, but this thread made it very understandable and easy for me. Thanks again OP!
oh and, I buffed it by hand...it was a real pain!! that's why it doesn't look as good as OP lol. But I'm pleased with it.
