Painted my 06 spoiler (first timer)

Picked up a kit of clear and basecoat of b16 Caribbean blue, mixed it laid the base 2 coats even, then did 3 coats of clear . i dont think i did that bad but you be the judge .not great shots but heres a few








just added pics of my bumper , its needs to be wet sanded cause of orange peel , and the color isnt 100% match but over all im happy









while the bumper was off and drying i did my front fenders with m105 and a wool pad

This doesn't look like work from a spray can....Looks good to me. Wish I could have that outcome for my first time painting.

Looks like a pro painted it. How did you shoot the paint on the wing? Did you hang it and shoot it?
