Default Clear coat failing, tired of looking at it, decided to paint...PICS
Still have to wet sand (except deck lid, already done) but turning out great for my first paint job...and using aerosol cans...

What's with the paint on the front bumper? Are you gonna paint the whole thing black, or is that part of the scheme?

it's part of the scheme...definitely unique...didn't know if I'd like it when taping, but I actually do now after seeing it. the only other mod was deleting the front emblem.

Something about the front just doesn't look right.

I really hope that is a coat of primer on there and not the final product.

TY. The good thing is, now that I have some sort of an idea what I'm doing, I can change it if I get tired of it.

Final. Will post pics after wet sanding, buffing, waxing. The pics do not do it justice--the deck lid turned out amazing, especially considering the before pics...

You could have bought an air gun and paint for cheaper then you're going to spend in cans. Yikes
