Gestapo007's Paint Job Thread: Project Pumpkin
What is the spoiler actually made out of? Did you buy one and glass it on or is it all a one off?
Your work looks real good either way. Good job.

Just FYI, my bro owns a paint/body shop and he said you can use car paint on the calipers and it'll hold up fine. Only way you can match your car. It's my plan for my car since I want to cutsom paint my new calipers.

And yea its coming along quick, it's just non-stop from 8:00 - 4/5. Today will be a short day though and ill be out of there by 1130, and its closed all weekend, so iv gotta try to work quick today
Oh when its done i wanna take it to some meets, but I dunno about texas Yea its a one-off. Its actually a piece of styrofoam that they use in boat repairs. Just rough shaped it, layed fiberglass over it for shape and strengh, then shaped it more and filled in the holes and low spots with fiberglass filler. That **** is real strong too. You cant bend this spoiler, its solid as a rock. And if you can tell by the pics, it started out real squared off and thick, yesterday I shaved it and rounded the ends off so its much thinner now, and still you can pull and push on it and its not going anywhere. Its solid.

Once i finish the body work, It was a real short day and didnt get too much done today, just kept workign that spoiler. Got the top of it relitively flat and smooth. Bottom is still being worked on, then the edge of it has to be perfectly rounded. I imagine late next week. I probobly wont be taking all the yellow off, just wetsanding the car with 600 grit and spraying it. Leave as much OEM stuff on there as I can.

It can be done, and im considering it. I just wanna finish the car and then ill worry about that, but the whole reason i liked this spoiler so much is becasue no1 had it. But im sure if I do it, ill have some pride in it and be happy to see people rockin it.

Did work out of the house today since i didnt get much done at the shop. Still shaping that spoiler. Just tryign to get all of the high and low spots out of it to get it perfectly flat and smooth. Sanding like a ************ the past 4 days. inhaling dusk so much im blowing blue/green boogers out my nose. The top of it is for the most part done, still need to feather it smooth into the trunk, the bottom still needs work and i have to get some more dynaglass to make sure the ends of it come to a nice point and are evenly spaced from the body line on the 1/4 panels. This **** is very specific lol. But today i got tired of the spoiler and decided to take some time to block the hood dent, and get this one dent out of my 1/4 panel right by the window thats been buggin the **** out of me. Every time i look out of my mirror i see the dent. Took care of it in like 5 seconds
