Glenn its not hard but even if u preped it and had a bodyshop paint it should be cheap , just use paint stripper to remove the old shit back to metal use a etch primer a normal primer ur choice of colour and then clear , to re polish it mask up with a few layers of maskit tape arpund the edge in case u catch it , use a hard rubber block start with 320 grit and work your way up to 2000 then a good rub with some polish to make it shine i done a few on exchage before

Did mine myself. Far better sense of satisfaction knowing its your own handiwork, but on the flip side, if it looks shit you can only blame yourself lol.
