Painted spoiler and new seats!

[usp55]

Tell me which spoiler is the maaco paint job and which is my $7 paint job? Now i know neither is a great paint job but it gave me something to do yesterday with some free time. Also just put in some seats i got from BonzoHansen today - Interior looks 10x better.

Seats look real good, but for a moment I thought the reflection in the paint was spider webbing in the finish.

That’s also known as cheating - I took a nice pic from behind the car but it was out of focus, too dark now for a reshoot now. I’ll take one tomorrow when i get home. But yea the one on the left is the $7 one and the last pic is the close-up of that paint. Thanks, it was my first attempt at any kind of automotive painting. I can only imagine how much better it might have some out if I had proper paint, spray gun, booth, and the patients of a Tibetan monk(I have zero patients)

finished pic as requested - i have to be honest though i did have a run in the paint in one spot - i might take it off and try to sand it down some, the run is only the clear coat. cant see it in the pics but in person its noticeable.

looks good. maybe wet sand with 2000 grit to get the run out? not sure but worth a try.

Thanks, yea im gona start back with the 1500 and work my way up to the 2000 - also gona really give it a thorough buff with some compound

lose the tail lights please

Per the request of many here on the board those tails are coming off and the stockers are coming back - one problem is i cant find my passanger side tail light. so untill i can get one off ebay or someone here - those have to stay on.

didnt we recommend leaving the spolier to get professionally painted, since now if its not completely stripped back down, real paint will not properly adhere.
