   The cheapest way to get it done professionally is vinyl wrapping. Just contact a local sign company to get this done.
   
   As for doing it yourself, its all in the preperation.
   its a: take off what you can, Mask, sand, primer, spray & lacquer job

   How would it look if you had a black flat arch model, and sanded, primed, and sprayed the plastics (bumpers, door trims) the same colour as your car?
