I kinda know how you feel... When I got my scoop My dad wanted to paint it and he struggled and struggled to get it to come out nice... He finally gave up on it and it looks like horse **** IMHO... lmao.... I put it on the car and never said a word. It been on a couple years so I figure I'll take it off this winter and do it myself... He probably wont even notice.
Good luck, when are you planning on getting back to the track?
