      what type of paint did you use?

      i'm guessing the issue you have is paint runs. the easiest way to fix it is with sandpaper. use a very fine grit sandpaper (wet sand the area...). its possible to buff it out with a little polish as opposed to putting a little paint over the area you just sanded. sometimes neithor is necessary depending in the type of paint you use, and if you use a fine enough grit.

      make sure the paint is dry before u start mucking with it.

        im nor sure what the kidneys are made of, i never checked and its too cold out to walk all the way to my car right now lol

        but i will probably use the same self etching primer I used on my shadowline, then 2 coats of paint. I scuffed my shadowline with some finer grit paper too

          Some cheap name brand spray ~sigh
          I went to TWO hardware stores, and
          both only had one type of paint and prime.... Shoot me.....
          Yeah I might just sand it down a little
          and spray it one more coat.

          btw no camera, sorry!
