Anyone done this? Wondering about the heat and using regular auto supply spray-bombs

As long as it is prepped correctly it should be fine. It is plastic so the prep work is what matters the most. If you can, use a high heat version of the paint

Give it to someone that knows how to paint. In all likely hood youll end up making it look worse and probally wont get the addhesion you need.

Temp will be fine. If anything i woukd use krylon spray cans. A good autobody jober can mix you a can of color matched paint but there is no gaurantee of adhesion and finish.

Check craigslist or ask you paint supply store. Fuck if you mailed it to me i would do it for ya for 150 bucks. It may be pricey but it will look good and it will last.
