It's a '92, right?  They were all base/clear by then.  I haven't done it
myself (just yet), but from my understanding, you may actually find it
easier to shoot the base/clear than a single stage paint.  You'll need to
buy more materials, that will be the biggest drawback, and you will need to
shoot it twice (base color, then clear).  All the gloss is in the clear, so
if you shoot several coats of clear and wet sand it, you can get a mirror
smooth finish.

Some of that weight in the bumper is the bracing behind it.  I haven't
looked at one myself, but you might be able to unbolt some of it to make it
easier to get on the car, then reattach it once it's on there.

Hey Rob,

Yeah, I'm the poor starving college student =p


I'm actually going to paint it all myself.  A friend has some
experience painting the hard top for his miata, and it came out pretty
damn nice, so I'll give that a go.  Also, the bumper weighs in at
about 60lbs, and is most DEFINITELY chrome plated steel.  There are
some plastic bits that i'll just wash up, as well.  I'm still not sure
whether to use single or two-stage, does anyone know what Chrysler
used on that car?  I'd like to match it up if i can, I'm wanting to
make this look as original as possible.
