About to go on a painting spreeeeeee

In all honesty, it will cost you more to have to fix something than doing it right the first time. The rear valance and front fangs are less of a risk since you could always buy an overlay to cover up your mistake, but I would have to say no go on painting the wing. You'll see your mistake in direct sunlight and that area sees a lot of traffic from closing the trunk. Even done by pro, rattle can's don't come close to a spray gun finish. I think a body shop would have to strip "your mistakes" off before they can apply new paint. I would leave the wing alone.

So i decided to try the plasti-dip stuff and let me tell you it works awesomee. first i tried 3 coats on a plastic bucket and let it sit for a half hour and it peeled off with a bit of picking at it. and it was only two coats. so then after dinner last night i got to taping off my car and tried the rear valance. came out awesome. I did like 7-8 extremly thin coats and it looks great. only thing is that since its a little rubbery the paint sticks to the car and the tape so i got some rough edges in some places, so i need to find a way to get rid of that. but other than that it worked and looks great. heres some pics.
