Your $50 might all go to sandpaper. lol. I went to a local body shop today to get a quote on my trunk lid(I know it would be cheaper to buy a new one without the luggage rack, but a quote is free). He said aroud $300!!!!!I am going to get the the trim piece on the doors, the one that is beside the mirrors, painted factory red from that guy though.

Yeah keep us postedon the screw-ups[8D], and maybe updates onsome progress too.

You might need more rollers, but later on. Make sure you wrap them in syran wrap when you are done for the day(that way they don't get hard on you, thus having to buy more).You might already know that but just giving my .02cents

Keep us posted
