Default painted a couple things last week...

last week my buddy came over and we spent a couple days sanding down a couple parts of my car and painting them. the spoiler i bought from jason24 (thanks jason) and i kept the original just in case i didnt like how it looked. the pillars took a couple days to paint because the weather was a little cold but i think it was worth it. the pillars and the spoiler are satin black. here's the pics...








what do you guys think?


p.s. these pics were not taken with the new camera (rebel xt) because i didnt have it with me. they were taken with my old finepix s5000.

Yeah, for Lance all i could see is doing his roof, C-pillars, and Outer A-pillars in a nice gloss black to go with his already kick *** them, but it might be abit overkill... He just needs to keep up the few sexy addition he has. Custom centercaps anyone? Maybe he will do skulls, although i dont like them it would match his rear emblem...

i used wet or dry sandpaper- 320, 600, 800, and 1000 grit. did it all by hand, and about 2 coats of primer, and 3 coats of paint, actually i think it was 4 coats of paint. ill get more pictures soon, i didnt take a lot yet.

yeah i've thought about it a lot but i gonna do some more performance items first... 4 bank chip, cam, nitrous... hopefully i'll have that by the middle of summer. after that i may change the hood and the front bumper, i've always wanted the roush stage 3 bumper despite so many people on the boards ordering them recently.
