yer prity easy mate, i have a 93 corsa in white, i sprayed the bumps and the archs my self, the finsish is very good. hopefuly they will last. i used plastic primer, alot of it. the body colour and then used clear lacquer. as long as all the prep work is done probably u should have no problems.
they will use a air compresser at a body shop as well so there should be no problems there.

I'm wanting to do this as well..... got the paint already.

mike_southside: did you sand the bumpers smooth or just paint them?

also would i be able to do it with them still on the car do you think?

Haynes manual says you have to buy new plastic screws or something? That right?
