    >>Finally repaired my rusty ass valence>>

    We spent today repairing my rusty rear valence, it bothered me from the day
    I bought the car, I still have to let the paint cure before I redo the black
    bottom. Paint is from paintscratch.com.

    Looks very nice! It appears you know what your doing. It's refreshing to see members attempting and tackling their own bodywork, and it's quite satisfying when you're done. Good job.

          No we used rocker panel chip paint, it dries textured very much like
          it came from the factory.

                Have you considered spraying the entire valence red?

                  I said up above that I will let the red cure before redoing the black bottom.

                    Top job youve done there mate,looks very neat and tidy!

                    Got to say,im with the masses in painting the whole valance Red and the sills.
                    Maybe even fit SE side skirts as on my car,blend really well with the iS front bib and looks factory fresh too!

                    Either way your car looks stunning

                          Looks good, really cool to take it on yourself!!

                          Did you do the welding your self?

                          Strange that you are repairing it there, I have the same infamous rust spot on my car.

                            Very very common spot for rust on an e30.
