The finish ain't perfect but as I'm still new to the spray can so I wasn't expecting it to be. I'm not too sure how close to perfect you could get it with a spray can but I'm happy with how it has come out. I have learnt a lot from doing this tho which I can use when doing my votex valance if/when it arrives. All in all a worth while project :grin:

What you spray with makes little difference to the outcome, with a can you preferably want the fan spray nozzle, but it is seriously ALL in the prep work, thin coat, rub down, thin coat rub down; so on and so on, the thinner the paint job the better, thick paint chips a lot more easily, and takes far longer to properly set off! All in the prep :)

How to I remove the two screws in the rear wheel arch? I've not got a tool that will angle in there to get to the screw. Is it going to be a case of removing the wheels????? :huh:

Lol. A new project should begin next week as well as I'm going to be getting some old style RS4's and I'm probably going to refurb them. Thinking Gun Metal Grey atm.

Here is the finished article. The colour match isn't spot on as I think the valance looks a little darker in some lights. Here are a few pics tho :grin:











If my votex front valance doesn't arrive soon I will be doing this to the front valance as well :grin:
