also i used high temp paint on the cars that i have done and put a clear coat on them. I also found that using about 225-250 works best and just keep a eye on it. I just went by touch and when it got hot i would try and pull them apart. Also i took a lighter and lit it by the glue if it was stretching and it would come right apart. good luck

I sell color matched paint according to the code of your car in a spray can - 30$ if you want a can, it will match your car color perfectly.

I just used rustoleum cause it was sitting around the garage. :P Just remember to take it easy and watch out for the far sides. You'd be surprised how much you missed when you're on your second coat of clear! :o

Thats what I used....I had a really hard time finding paint to match perfectly so I had Ryan get me some. Kinda pricey but well worth it. Used 2 coats no primer and no clear ....still looks like it did when I first did it last fall.
