Haven't done mine yet, but seriously thinking about doing it this spring. My painter says he'll do it for about $100 while he's doing some touch up work on it.

hhmmm.. well, there was DIY thread where many guys painted the "corvette" on their C6 with Rustoleum without any probs.. as far as the lower bumper piece, that I think Ill go buy duplicolor for now that you mention it..

as far as Rustoleom being a bbq coating.. i dont know, its pretty multi-purpose and i got it for metal.. Rustoleum is just the brand..

For the letters, buy the plastic ones since they don't fade or peel like the decals. I think Ecklers may sell them.
