Thumbs up Painted my rear valence :)

So after receiving a little encouragement from Rhino_111 and his thread about painting his rear valence, I finally decided it was time to do mine:

note: lighting is bad on the second half of pics cause sun was starting to go down

starting with the ghettofied tape-up:




and the results:





i didnt think of taking pictures after sanding.. but owell

again big thanks to Rhino_111 who provided inspiration seen here: CliCK

comments welcome

Good looking back end. Paint adds a nice contrast and the debadging is clean!

No primer just sanded with 350 grit paper then used flat black duplicolor auto paint from kraigens. About 4 coats no clear
