Today I test fit the ducktail it fit very well. So I moved on to giving it a sanding and cleaning with alcohol. Put down four light to medium coats of grey primer. Waited an hour and gave the primer a light sanding. Cleaned her up and put down 4 coats of Arctic Silver waiting about 10 minutes between coats. Let that dry for an hour and put down 6 coats of clear coat. All of this was custom mixed rattle cans. I'm happy to say no runs ! I think it came out good for a backyard paint job. Will let it dry through Sunday morning and then do the final install. I will take pics once it is installed .

Looks great! You need some 550 tail lights to finish it off!

Post a few picks of the whole car.
