Default Getting a minor butt lift (pics)

Since I am recovering from knee surgery and kind of layed up I thought I would give my ride a minor butt lift. Plus, this gives me something to do in my spare time. So, I bought this SLP spoiler from kilowatt (forum name) last week and it arrived Monday. After several days of sanding priming and sanding I started shooting paint from a can. The pics below are the results prior to shooting several layers of clear. I hope it turns out like I anticipate. Once complete I will let you guys and gals know how it turns out.

If your asking if the paint matches the car? It is spot on. I use this paint for everyhting that I have painted over the years. For me, the extra cost is worth every penny. If your looking for the color code it is 70. If you have any more questions please free to ask.

Looks good I have two questions tho...

1) What kind of clearcoat is Krylic? Is it an urethane or enamel?

2) How come you didn't use all of automotive's line and just the touch paint?
