Has anyone done this? If so, what do i need to know? (ie special primers?). I want it the same colour as the car. Is this going to be possible?

Thanks

I can do these power coated on exchange for £45 inc postage.

I wouldn't trust normal paint TBH.

Halfords don't do brocade yellow

Is the vaux stuff much more expensive?
