2 coats, full arctic white acrylic enamel (reduced and hardened 8:4:1) rolled on

spoiler is from a Ford focus ZX2 (very modified mounting)











and a reminder of what it looked like when i started

 

during the painting







weapon of choice



i dont think i will ever spray a car again. this was about a $200 paint job with all the mar glass, bondo, primer, and spoiler.

 

Try rolling clear over it.

 

its single stage paint, so i dont have to , but after its wet sanded, i might.

 

UN. BeLIEVable! That looks awesome! Do you see any roller marks, brush marks or orange-peel look, or did it lay flat? I understand a few rounds of wetsanding will remove any orangepeel, but is the paint thick enough to handle that?

Looks freaking amazing!

 

yes it is, and not really any roller marks, just a few drips and some saggy spots, (no lifting though) and some orange peel, defiantly enough paint to sand. its about 4 coats if shot, im guessing, covered everything in one coat, and did a second for good measure!

what do you guys think of the new spoiler?

 

i think ive got one more coat to do, after about a week of curing, I am seeing some darker areas that were grey primer before hand. so after the 2nd wet sand, first 600, then 800, im going to re coat with it mixed a tiny bit thinner with a new roller and pan. hopefully it turns out like i want.
