Thanks, thats pretty useful to me. So If I have the time to spare and I can get a pretty damh close paint match then I could with help of a friend, do it myself? But id have to make it extra, extra clean. Can this be done outside? or must it be done inside and how would I get it sterile? The only thing I refer to being sterile to boiling sheets in water to kill bacteria but i'm sure you don't suggest that I boil my trim? ... My bumpers are colour coded but I want to paint everything else.
