It is from paintscratch.com. the color and clear were their own brand name on the can, the adhesion promoter and flexible primer they sell were SEM.

Thank you! Hopefully I will get the same results if I ever dare to try this myself.

it was a lot easier than i thought it would be, and came out much better. i have never been particularly successful with spray paint before. but i just went very slowly. i think good preparation and then lots of light coats is the trick with this stuff.

It's not expensive but it does add up, and you could probably get some of the stuff a little cheaper if you shop around, but i just ordered it all from the same place and it's still much cheaper than having someone paint it for you (but depending on your skill, not necessarily the same quality!)
I painted 49 different pieces and used 1 adhesion promoter, 3 flexible primer, 4 silver and 4 clear coat.
total was about $250 i think. this was the first order i did (needed more later)....

A link to some "how to" sites and schematics/diagrams to remove these parts would make this thread PERFECT! Going to do my artic silver 2000 911 softop/hardtop very similar.
Good work, looks great.....next: best way to make those POS boxster headlight look better.....hate 'em
