Sorry, like I said I only do it if I'm forced to. Like a 'do it or you loose your job' kind of thing. I really wouldn't be comfortable doing for someone. Anyways side jobs aren't allowed in my shop...

Just watch out if you're doing this to cover rust. If your rust is bad, you'll have nothing left to clip the ground effects into. Or at least you'll have to do some improvising.
