Default Batwing ..part 3..the finale

I am calling it done!

I am pretty happy with how it turned out.I did NOT have to re-shoot clear on it!
I learned so much by doing this little project....it's amazing!!
I have new found confidence,I may even color sand my whole car now!!
(maybe )

Seriously, I had so much dirt and crap on top of this wing...I can't believe I got it all out. There were a few very minor casualties that purists may say I failed miserably....I dunno.
There were 2 very tiny specs when I sanded that turned kinda white,looked almost like a chip.I am not sure if I was paying to have it done I would be happy
But here they are:



Close ups..I dunno what's the deal with the auto focus on the camera.
Hopefully you can see the detail ,it's a little blurry..I am sorry..Maybe I can get better ones tomorrow


Whatcha think?
**** There is an additional pic in post#25***

The mods are so much better when you put real effort into them, eh?

Looks great -- nice work!

You got to hold the camera button half way down until the camera focuses, then push it the rest of the way down when the green light goes or it sounds like the lens has stopped moving... youll get good shots then
