    I went to panel beaters and asked them to prep/prime/saind/paint (whatever the normal go is) and they did it for $100 incl. GST.

    Got some pics below (badge removed and holes covered with paint matching grommets since)

    Wow that looks awesome no i realize its well worth getting it professionally done. Although im not doing it blue im doing it black to match the black altezza lights. But honestly around here I dont think any 1 would do it for $100 you would be looking at more like $2-300

    Why do you want to paint it black? Id rather it look like mine that what this guy did to his bro.

    If you paint it black it will just look dodgey and like your grabbin panels, plus black paint with the rest of the car will make it all worse, my honest opinion.
