How are people changing the colours of these, DIY (if so how, using what)or professionally done?

Have a look at the painting guides and there are hundreds of threads on em!
You'd need a small paintbrush and a steady hand though to do the numbering.

You need to take the door strips off to then pop them off from the rear otherwise you may snap them.

If you open the door you'll see a blanking cap remove that and then you'll see a tab which needs to be pressed in (screw driver helps) while at the same time pulling the door strip towards the rear.

There is a guide on here about the removal of doors strips and bumpers

I cant find any painting guides on these! I've just done Amy 182s for her, but they havent turned out great, used high build primer, then base coat of racing blue then laquer! How is everyone else getting a decent finish on these?
I also did her headlamp washer blanking plates and they look perfect!
