Got spoiler painted black. Not nicest paint job but it should hold up for a few months while I wait and get new paint job from a pro. I also added pics of my overlays that I got as well. My car is finally starting to come together visually.

What are those 2 circles?

Sooo many rockchips. Will look into getting those fixed when car is in body shop.

I'm not fealing the black spoiler. Needs to be body colored or two tones or something.

I think black on the bottom with body color on top set off by a red or hot orange pinstripe would be slick. Maybe the same effect on the top of the scoops on the hood.

It does look better than the white for now.

Keep after it man...she's gonna look boss when it rolls out of the body shop.

I like the idea of the pinstripe plus black/orange spoiler. If it doesn't cost much more I will def consider that possibility! Thanks for idea. Anyone want to try for a photoshop of that?

Ya the white looked a little akward.

Ya and primed it, but it turned out bad. I blame humidity and poor rattle can skills on my part. Maybe I need to wetsand it to make it look better? I haven't tried that. I'm afraid of scratching it.

It isn't to its full potential yet because I am terrible with a spray can. It doesn't match the rear bumpers black which I think is throwing it way off.

Can we call it the "Devil's Jack-o-lantern"?

Honestly, I've always loved the orange those cars have and the black accent's just make it that much sweeter.

think your pro paint guy wants to paint over your crappy/uneven spray can job? or is he going to strip off your junk and put down new paint? i have heard fiberglass parts are never smooth or level and need a bit of sanding prior to a good paint job.

He is going to sand it off of course! My crappy paintjob is just temporary so it isn't an ugly white.
