That's gonna look so nice when it's done.
Sanding is the hardest part. I seriously hate sanding, did it for 8 hours a day for like a year back in the day.
I love doing this stuff but just couldn't do it everyday.

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

im glad you changed your mind 
Itll look like a whole new car when im done, the spoiler shouldnt stick out as much as it does being primered when the trunk is black
thanks for that 
stock rims painted.

Yea those Tjin edition cobalts are sexy! I thought there was only 1 and they repainted though? the interiors are exactly the same with the white inserts the only difference is the rims. It seems almost hard to find a picture of the black one.

I think you should do Lamborghini Green with some metallic in it. That will look more shiner and specked. I liked the spoiler job up in person. That is some craftsman work from CFCC.

I dunno exactly how its gonna turn out lol, but honestly that wing isnt that thin, at the end probobly but not where it meets the trunk. It has a really wide base compared to mine. hard to see in pictures but youtube Tjin edition cobalt walkaround and youll see what im talking about 3/4 way through

im pretty sure it was a repaint...looks better in the off white imho
and gestapo, the blue foam from home depot or lowes actually holds up to the resin, lust didnt look the same in your pics. i have used it before..actually in a&p school we used it to make fiberglass wings and it doesnt melt at all...i also found out that aerosols will melt it reeeeeeeeeeeeeaaallly fast lol
looks really good so far man

i bet it was too, since the black is probobly the color of the car wen they bought it. Then they changed things up from there
