I have a question that I hope you guys can help me with.. I have a jacked up, peeled-paint front bumper. I've gotten it quoted around 250 bucks to repaint. Seeing as the rest of my car is not perfect, I don't really want to go this route. I'm thinking of doing the bumper at my place, with a "close-enough" color rattle can. I'm going to try to do it right though. (primer, sand, color, sand, etc..) Has anyone done this with decent results? With the right prep. and technique, can rattle cans deliver a "good enough" finish? Anyway, throw in your experiences, I'd like to hear them.

cheers,
C
