Yep, I did the exact same thing to mine.

Painted the corners, wetsanded and blended them, cleared the entire lens surface, wetsanded again, then polished, buffed and waxed.

There's his "process" for anyone who wanted to know. You can tell him it was me that squealed, and not you.

I'm sorry, I'm not trying to bust your balls. I just hate people like that, who think they know something secretive and won't tell other people how to do it, even when it's something that anyone with opposable thumbs and the ability somewhat skillfully operate a spray can and a sheet of sandpaper with water on it can do.

It's a highly-skilled process of applying an aerosol-form of liquid pigment called "paint" (PAY-NT).

Only a select few are trained in this highly-secretive process, the training can take decades.

Well, there's also a clearing process, and presumably several iterations of a wet-sanding and buffing process that is intricate enough to take actual skill to do. ;)

BTW, shadowline is mostly re-done. I got new chrome trim at a yard (as well as practice taking it off without ruining the paint) and plasti-dipped it. Looks much better, I just need to touch up a few spots on the upper door trim that I didn't remove.

Thanks. A guy here made them, did a very nice job. He doesn't let people know his process, though.

What tails are those? Home paint job or aftermarket? They look good.

looks nice. is the pinstripe on your car half coming off or does the camera and the reflection just make it look like that?

It's half coming off. I like it though, and want to restore it to its former glory.

(also it's hiding a seam from a lower-half repaint that I and the previous owner both did not notice)

[kronus]

You need to get lower, or paint that spoiler. One of the two.

Everytime I look at your car I get confused.

Confused by what? I'm probably going to keep it black. I haven't made any shoops of a white one, but I have seen one, and like the black better if it's properly finished. I don't agree about it needing to be lower. It just needs to be on stiffer springs. Pro-kit = low and soft = scraping and busted pans. Considering a BBS/Zender/Hartge rear spoiler at the moment.

Also what's that, in the distance, peeking through the brush, shamelessly bumping my thread for more ego stroking?

Just the bottom is slightly warped. I'm going to try to heat gun it to make it flat.
