    You can do it yourself but will get better results if a body shop does them.
    Go and see Daz at the custom place in priorslee, next to priorslee motor services.

    yes easy to do halfords will have all the paint you need, just have a look on the net and it will tell you the steps you need to go through, just take your time and keep it clean and it will look spot on.

    if your going to do it make sure you prep it really well before.

    im thinking bout doing it to mine as well, a body shop would obviously give the best finish but it's not that harder job to do urself. As it's just the strips then cans will do the job fine, rub it down properly first and use a filler primer as it is thicker. Rub it between coats obviously... just needs patience!

    din't use a filler primer, its shit, just take your time and rub down the rubstrips to remove the texture properly before plasticising and then priming
