Default Plastidip spoiler

So in my depression of being broke and not being able to get the Amuse kit yet, much less a Mine's spoiler lip, I saw someone on this forum (wish I could remember who, and I give all credit for this idea to him if he sees this) plastidip the stock spoiler and it came out looking great to add some extra contrast. It looks a lot better in person. I realized after I got home and looked at it from the driveway that there were better angles that I could've snapped the pics at.

Personal tip that I've used myself every time I've plastidipped (simply thought out of my impatient nature) is to use a heatgun to cure each of the 4 coats. I basically spray on a light first coat thats enough to cover the whole area almost opague and then go over it with a heatgun for about a minute until you can actually see it dried up. Rinse and repeat until you get 4 good coats. Comes out smooth and with very minimal texture.

The orange evo and blue wrx are other cars at my friend's shop getting dipped while I was doing my own thing
