Make sure it fits the facelift 05 - 07 Jazz and isn't made for the pre-facelift Phil. :) I spent forever looking for a mugen grill for the car and couldn't find one that suited since most were made for pre-facelift.

yes! spray it yourself,
shuold cost you around $30
dont need a spray gun for that in my opinion! just some wet sanding for the perfect finish should do the trick.

you'd want to sand the surface down initially so its nice and smooth. hit it with a couple coats of primer if you wish to help the paint stick better. give it a couple layers with the desired colour and give it a wet sand to make sure its all evened out with no runs in the paint. then give it plenty coats of clear so that you bring out the shine! should take you a good couple days if you want it to come out proper! good luck with it.

don't forget to use some wax n grease remover after u wetsand it, before primering. best to get all the dirt off.

first layer paint and clear, do it very lightly, allows for the other coats to get sticky

from my experience, using the cans, its better to spray it on nicely thick and even after the first coat, but thats what i did. other people say its better to do it very light on all coats. but yeah, im not expert tho lol. if ur gunna buy the K&H cans that is.. i dunno about other brands. but yeh, the kh brand clear coat is shit if u just do keep doing light coats, gives it a shitty finsih. better for a first light coat then heavy coats after that. lol
