Smoothed mine myself to take the ripples out, an hour with sand paper and elbow grease. Couple coats of plastic primer, flat down, then two pack and lacquer. About 3 - 4 hours in total but I had access to all the proper kit. It's only a valance, it's gonna get bashed anyway.. go for it.

the bumps/texured bits wont need rubbing all out if you use a good quality high build primer, just rub it  down enough to give it a good 'key'.

I actually think spraying th eroof black on your red car will look pants, just my opinion though. Your car and paintwork looks mint, think it would be a shame to spoil it, plus back shows all the pollun and other crud up, i should know hehe.

Im going to agree with dobber - I love the black bits of detail yo have added Stink, but I think the roof might be a step too far. Just my opinion of course.
