I've just done the front bumper on my car with rattle cans, finish is OK but not great, colour match is spot on, maybe if I spent 3 weeks doing it, rather than just the one week it would have been good. It cost me £100+ for paint, primer, lacquer, sand paper etc. If I'd taken it to a garage down the road to get it done, it would have cost £100, only taken 2 days and would have a good finish. I know what I'll be doing next time.
If it took you an entire week and £100 worth of materials to get a crap finish on a bumper, then definitely hand it into a paint shop next time.You didn't get the paint and paper from Halfords did you?
Took a week as I do work during the day so only had nights, some rained, some were too hot, but car was off the road for a week. Plus I took the bumper back to plastic which took a lifetime.

2 feet, or 20 feet?? My car is a track / race car that will end up with some level of graphics, plus also inevitably attract dents, scrapes, gravel rash etc, so the standard of the job needs to be simply "adequate"
