However, what ever tickles your pickle man. It's your car.

It's also really fun to empty the powder into a napkin, tie it into a small ball, and to throw it at someone. Instant smoke screen.

I'm not completely sure, but I believe the baby powder in the paint technique goes back to the rodding days of the late fifties and early sixties, where primer paint jobs were the norm. I think it was an inexpensive DIY technique to add texture to primer (and possibly actual paint). I know I heard something like this once but for the life of me I cannot remember where. It may have also been used to create a primer appearance while using a gloss paint.

I gotta try that one. Sometimes I need a good smoke screen.Man, all you dudes saying "props for being different" are cracking me up. You must be some really REALLY nice dudes because you just don't want to say "it's ugly" and I understand that. I give props for being different if/when I like some aspect of the project. In this case I don't like ANY aspects of this project, so no props, sorry.
Again, as long as you like it then what we think doesn't matter...but I think the consensus is that it's tacky and the method used was ghetto. Maybe if you did add black rims and some cf pieces it might look better, or even go with a cf spoiler instead of a textured black...who knows...

Well, besides its use for that. Maybe I can learn something new and use all the extra baby powder from my baby later in a paint project. Or at least learn and practice and old technique.

You like it and that's all that matters, just like people driving around with hideous stickers all over their car or grapefruit launchers for exhausts like those things whereas I think it's hideous, period. I think a large part of your giddiness over this distasteful experiment is based on your previous love affair with a Ford vehicle
baby powder goes on the asses of babies, not the asses of cars...

Then place a fan and blow the powder into the room. If you leave the fan long enought, you should be have covered the locked room in a fine white powder.

Next time you do something like this ASK US TO LIE and you'll get your desired positive response of, "wow! Looks great! Good job! Can I do that to my car for under $10 too?"
I think you're taking this personally Ken, all I said was I didn't like the spoiler project (like tons of others have said), nothing more. If you like it then you shouldn't have to defend it to me, simple as that.

Response to Comments
If you have a problem with another member's comments in a posted thread, do not respond with any further comments that will aggravate the situation. Reacting to a hostile post with more hostility puts you in jeopardy, and puts you at risk for action against your account even if it is another member’s fault. Members have two options of recourse:
Email the moderators of the forum in which the offensive comment is posted, directing them to the individual and thread in which the problem occurs. Use the "Notify a Moderator" button on the bottom of the offensive post to accomplish the same thing. Moderators will look into the issues and take the appropriate actions.
Resolve the problem between both of you via email or Private Message (PM).

Jeez! Someone didn't get their baby-butt powdered this morning.
Either that or someone's doing lines of baby powder off their spoiler.
Either way, some funny stuff!
