Looks pretty good cajungt! I'm guessing you did primer, paint, and then clearcoat?

I did'nt do a clear coat, I was trying to preserve a "semi- flat black" look to it. Similiar to what you see on a Mach One finish. Thanks for the compliments..

You can do it yourself if you choose a flat black or something. Make sure you have a steady hand!!!

Just bought the sandpaper and paint. Tonight I'll be sanding it and then painting tomorrow. I'll throw some pictures up as soon as I'm done.

Great, let us check it out when your done. I could only post 2 pics to members ride section or I could'a provided some. take your time, tape it off straight & square,(radius Ur corners), protect it from overspray, take time to sand properly. Enjoy!!!

I'm only doing the wing for right now. Over spring break I'll be doing the rest.
Just got done sanding btw. Ready for paint in the morning. Hopefully it doesn't rain

Yeah I took it off. I do have a question though. What do you guys think would be the best way to hold/place the wing when I go to paint it? Lay it on something, spray, flip, spray? Hang it from something and hit it all at once? any ideas fellas?
