Painting the mouldings on an A2 is a real PITA. I helped prep 2 of the cars that were with me at H2O4 last year(the blue G60 and the green 16V), and let me tell you...the amount of prep work involved is not to be underestimated. Between the bumpers and flares, figure 20-30 man-hours per car. This obviously doesn't include the door mouldings. If you guys saw the silver A2 GTI VR6 with the Z-Engineering charger in PVW, that car was done by the same guys, though I did not have a hand in it. I had considered doing this to my car, but after going through it twice, I changed my mind.
