Gonna "bomb" my car (STYX)..Spray bomb that is!
Looks good!
I'm doing my hood and front bumper with gloss white rustoleum enamel paint and clear coat.
I did my hood , first primered it then sprayed white and ended up with mad tiger stripes because I was impatient. I did have a section come out perfect though so I know I was just stupid and started rushing, spray cans you really have to take your time now I have to sand down and start over. I tried wet sanding the tiger stripes but It made it worse ....sucks.
Did you have issues with tiger stripes? Have you wetsanded/ buffed yet?
Looks good for sure either way

That wing DOES Go..about 220 kph!!!!..last I saw.
Paint wise I shook the living daylights out of 6 cans,like a rock drummer..so each new can was very little down time to get used.Just pick up a new one,shake,shake,shake and continue.
The Nozzle on the cans had a Wide angle on it,not one of those thin line graffiti,"spell your name on a rail car" type nozzles.I wanted that right off the bat when I looked at paint and found it in Rustoleum cans.It covered nicely.
Ya,there are Imperfections,But As I said,It's not a freakin' Museum piece,It's a Driving car,meant to get dinged,used hard and put away HOT!.
If I wanted a Professional job I would have had another car to put the paint on.But then again I would not be driving it the way I do this one!....putt,putt My ***!!..BRAPP..PSHH!!!..that's more like it!

The one thing I really like about this is that you kept the side moldings black. It keeps the retro-ish look on the car and really complements the aero. After I install my aero (mind you its not a big kit) and seeing this example, I believe my side moldings are going to stay black too. The paint came out nice too for rattle canned. Good job. Just toss the spoiler haha.

The headlights come with the RE-Amemiya Front Bumper,that you can get when you know a guy,who knows a guy...that knows.."the guy"..lol!
I wired the lights as 4 light LOW and 4 light HIGH..I got the stock switch to power each relay,so it doesn't get any excess juice into the stock wiring at all.It just activates the relay.That's it.
Really you don't need the HIGHS but when you do turn them on,it is like Daytime!
