so i've got some of that spectacular base-of-the-doors rust, scratches behind the rear wheelwells, and bad checking and fading on top of my spoiler. i know i'm going to correct each issue, but localized resprays won't look too awesome and i can't afford a complete paint job (nor do i have the facilities or time to do a complete job myself, although the initiative is here!)

long story short, i devised this scheme to cover all the repaired areas in one swoop:

i'm thinking satin black (maybe gloss, if it'd look better) along that stripe.
let me know how you think this is going to look!

ps, sorry for the bootleg photo editing, i'm not exactly pixar material tongue.gif

i think it would look good, but it would look better if you would follow the contour of the front spoiler into the front of the back wheel opening.

i like it, just not so thick and make it flow...but you got the right idea...I was thinking maybe a white stripe? That may look too rice (if i can use that word for lack of a bettter one).
