Hey guys, My buddy and I just finished the first coat of paint on the spoiler, and finished painting the Hubcaps...(Descripstions for all pics are above)
Before...(August or September of '06 HB meet) Note the full sized antenna, the fireball in the headlights, the lack of hubcaps, and the JDM lift-kit.

Then this happened....
Spoiler Hanging by 4 bungee cords, between 2 tarps in a garage

Getting my gloves on...always use protection

(.........)

I'm a Tagger

So is he

Post sanding, prepping with Gas, to get rid of the oils from my fingers

Getting rid of the dust from the gas rag

You can see the spray in these 2 pics


Using Dupli-Color Bumper Coating to spray the hubcaps

They dry flat, like ABS plastic

Dupli-Color Clear for the Spoiler's clip covers


I did all this for under $100, paint, tarps, bungee's, gloves, mask, sandpaper...
More pics to come, when she's done with this stage.
**Well she's done with this stage, so as promised....
Hubcap on the front wheel, after the badge was put back on


taking out your headlights is a PAIN IN THE AZZ!!

clearing/painting them is even worse (it took 1/2 an hour just to heat up the glue with a heat gun)

Then you have to have 2 ppl to pull them apart (sorry, no pics, everyone was busy pulling the lights apart)
Once we got them apart though..I was able to paint the eyelids

But the first thing we did, was Chris installed my spoiler....here're some pics




The grille (my secret for the past few weeks) all masked off, post-sanding, pre paint

Spraying the Grille

Still painting the grille

Dude, this thing takes forever...lol

Finally done

I drove like this for about 50 miles (still taped up, but on the car)

Really done, and unmasked

better looks at the grille,

Kahuna, that means a lot to me coming from you...where did you get your grille?

looking pretty good, but you gotta get rid of those hubs

xSTANDxSTRONGx

I know, I'm looking at rims right now, but I don't have the money, and I can't find the right ones....The paint is just a lil something to hold me over for a few months.

Kahuna

It's the stock one!!! Of course with a vinyl wrap

I'm gonna have to come out there see your work in person....I'm getting the feeling the pictures don't do your work any justice!!!!!

Kahuna

See anything you like....

looks great in pics, but being my first time painting a body piece, I didn't sand it enough, so I have to repaint the grille soon.
