well, another small step forward today. the rear spoiler is painted. i debated for a couple of weeks between body color and black..........

prepped, primered, smoothed out, ready for color

and the winner is...............

this stuff actually works very well for a rattle can. it is a 2 stage paint with a very nice nozzle that sprays a pattern almost like a spray gun. once you activate the catalyst, the paint is only good for about 24 hours. i paid about $23 for the can, but a pint of regular paint would have cost that much. no clean-up of spray gun. i was able to put 4 coats on the spoiler including the bottom.

came out very nice

Nice. I've seen catalyzed paint in a can like that at Eastwood (2000K or something like that). I think that technology is really cool.

i think its the same thing, just that eastwood put their own label on it

got a little color on tonight

bottom sides of the gas filler lid and inspection covers

after the clear coat

Looks good!

Love that color!!!

Is that 110 Persimmons?  It has the same color change in photos as mine did, one picture looked red the next orange.  Looks great whatever color it is, spoiler too!

Site, it is called tor-red. one of chryslers colors from the newer cars. im really liking  the red-black

little more color last nite. going to try and get the hood done today

Very nice work!!

 

hood got some color today. a few spots of dust, but otherwise it came out good

inside edges

inside center masked and ready for bed liner. this hood had been danced on, so every little dent and ding would have shown if i had painted it body color. you can see some of the wave-i-ness (sp?) in the center. the black bed liner has a texture and hides all the imperfections. it should also help to deaden noise

and the top-side

I have been thinking of doing my sound control with lizard skin. I didn't realize doing the hood would make an impact.
