Ordered this paint for my son's college car. I ordered a replacement bumper cover for my son's 2006 Mazda 3 (Color code 16W) due to a minor fender bender and they wanted $330 to paint it at the body shop. Being this was on a college kids car I was not interested in paying $80 more to paint it than the part costs so I decided to give this a try. If it sucked too bad for him, he has no money he would have to tough it out. Luckily this paint worked like a dream. It is not an exact match but it is close enough that you have to really look more than a glance to tell. I warmed up the garage, put down a drop cloth, followed the painting instructions on the bumper (sanded with 1500 grit and cleaned) and put on 2 coats of the base color. The cans are only 8 ounce and it took slightly more than 1 can. Caution: If you let the can run low it may start to spit and not spray evenly. Get 2 cans and be careful. After the base coats I used the dupli-color clear coat. 2 coats of this and I was done. The clear coat (use 2 cans as well) took some effort to get it on evenly and thick enough without running. I got a couple haze spots near the headlights due to the different angle. I will go back and reapply in spots. I will not lie and say it is show room, new car perfect because it is a spray can for crap sake and it just can't be perfect, but it is pretty good for a spray can paint job on a college kids car. Net savings over going to a body shop - $300
