    Ok I want to buy the Inferno package for my 2004 grand prix gtp and im having a hard time trying to find a good price for painting the parts. so i was thinking about painting the air dam and maybe the spoiler myself to save some money. my question is if anyone has advice on what to use and how to go about the process of painting the carbon fiber parts. i've seen some people talk about how they painted their's but I still don't know the process or what paints to use. any help would be appreciated.

    no real experience with it just know to sand it down primer it and paint it then clear coat. its a black car so i dont think it can get messed up all that bad and if it ends up looking like crap i can just sand it down and leave it to the professionals that ill use for the hood.

    you would think it would be pretty simple and easy, but painting takes mad skills and there is too many factors that could screw things up.. pay the money and be happy with the finished product.. g/l
