I bought 3 rattle cans of Honda blue pearl and 2 cans of clear coat from Automotive Touchup to paint a nasty black rear bumper cover Laguna Blue Pearl. I half-assed the prep by only washing, light sanding with a random orbital sander and washing again prior to painting (you're supposed to wet sand and use alcohol for the final clean). I did no additional primer or prep. I sprayed the blue using countless dusted coats, with 5 minutes in between each, then did 4 wet coats of clear. I made a mistake by using the last of the clear for a dust coat (this left a duller, rougher finish than the wet coats and I'll need to polish it back down once it hardens).

Very pleased overall with the paint match and quality for the price. I spent about $80 all-in on this project and while my DIY bumper is very slightly deeper in hue than the original paint on the quarter panels, I attribute that mostly to sun exposure and not being buffed shiny yet. I wasn't looking for perfect since this is a track bumper to cut up anyway. Easily saved myself several hundred dollars and learned a lot in the process. Definitely recommend these guys for DIY projects.

i have used their products several times and have been anal about the prep work. No doubt, with care in the prep, the results are really accurate. Unfortunately, they mixed a darker colour for my NH630-M (silverstone) just recently but the service has been great to rectify the problem.

I highly recommend their products.
