Result is very nice:

If you want good results, DO NOT use rattle can. Either source out a compressor and airbrush or have it professionally done. Don't forget to let it sit a few days, then put a good coat of wax on it before putting everything back together.

Get with Andy- For the right price, he may help you with the prep.

P.S. Next time, post in the right section... jackass
