No.. Its the whole car thats getting painted. I ended up having 2 quarts mid coat, 1 gallon of clear. Its all Kustom Shop Paint products. Sorry to disappoint many, but I couldnt afford HOK.

some friends of mine tell me that the kustom shop product is just like house of kolor crap, and be glad you didnt buy house of kolor i never liked, you really really need to be a good painter to spray house of kolor

ya might want to get another gallon of clear, 2 qt of the mid coat is fine, i would do another gallon just on the safe side, when i did my alero i went through 2 gallons like it was nothing

or,,,,,,,,if ya went ppg dbc system you could have used there cheaper line of clear called omni, and just used the slow activator for the complete, its just a reforulated version of ppgs 2021 clear, its something ya might wat to rethink to save money

or you could have done this, gone with ppgs dbc system gone with your black, and then had one of the perals applied over, like blue, and violet, to save money, and trust me it looks awesome over black

its not to late you can still do it

Ok here is the rear bumper completed, It needs just a lil bit more work on the passenger side where it was cracked.. But im very pleased with the fitment and the way it turned out. I just dropped the bumper off, he didnt even have my car there.
