I might commission him to do it once I get the car back.I was even thinking of doing the angled parts on the bonnet also like below.

At the end of the day as long as you're happy with it that's all that matters.couldnt agree more- after all I went ahead and did it after putting up photoshops some months ago and not getting too many positive comments. I just get sick of everyone thinking that whacking on a fake fpv bar will make thier car 'modified'....oh well most people will only see the back of my car anyways so I guess it doesnt matter...

Matt paint then seal with a gloss?

Matt paint then seal with a gloss?I used gloss black and cleared it. Came up pretty good and smooth. With cans aswell. A matt might look better. I found if doing something small with cans like I did, wet coats usually come out better. From experience from stuffing up then fixing things on my previous cars lol.
