Rear Valance or Fangs blacked out

Gunzero · 06-12-2010, 01:10 AM

I will try this soon

How's the paint holding up?

Good write-up. I did this last weekend. Super easy and cheap.

This is awesome stuff. As soon as it quits being a sauna outside, I'm all over this.

Finally did it! I actually painted the (already) black portions of the front bumper and the chin spoiler to make sure it all matched.

Looks good zapper...! Did you do the rear as well?

Jeffblue · 07-06-2010, 12:18 PM

all these grey 370's with the blacked out fangs and valances/skirts etc look sweet!

OP, your Powder coated Nismo wheels look awesome and match the car perfectly.

i think the new in is to wrap it with the 3M CF sheets. both front fang and rear valance.

Sure did. I don't have a direct shot from behind though. Both look great and I could not be happier on how it looks.

Thanks for the write up did my rear today in satin black, I think I might do the fangs in flat black, I may redo the rear flat black as well. I did not add clear coat yet didnt have time.

ProfessorDave · 12-07-2010, 01:25 PM

I kinda like it in flat black without the clear!

I just finished doing both the fangs and the rear valance. Two people, two hours. Most of the time was spent taping everything out. I'll know tomorrow if I got paint in the wrong places. Pics once the weather is nicer.

Great write up, very helpful.

How long after the final coat do you need to wait before driving the car?

lochness · 05-07-2011, 06:39 PM

I've taken off all the tape but I'm waiting about a day and half before I drive it. Its looking good so far.
