^Hahahahhahhhahahaha!!!! Nice P.S. note

Anyway, paint stuffs not really diy-able.
Best to get the pro to do it.
You can't repair the flake-ness of the paint. It needs to be blasted down then prime and re-spray for a proper job.

Which part is it? front bar?

Hey No1 watch these vids and if you feel comfortable enough you can do it yourself since your car is a normal stock colour not metallic or candy etc it shouldnt be too hard to do.

And wet sand it after. Same procedure as polishing the headlights.
