Looks good,if u can get a wood saw horse u can also get some long rods with threads,u can screw the rods in the bottom of the spoiler,mark the space on the saw horse,drill holes in the saw horse 2-3 in. then u can paint the spoiler upright n get all around,lookin awsome though!

That's a good tip sinister. My boss makes fun of me because everything I paint I end up making a jig for to make things easier. I might just patent my k member jig. LOL.

Lookin' good OP. I am going to repaint my bird later this spring.

MORE PICS!!! and maby you could do a list of everything that you used.. the primer, the spray gun, the tips, the sandpaper, the tape everything so anybody wants to do the same can know what materials to start with...IMO it looks BAD ***!!!! damn fine work sir!!!

ps.. did you repair the sail panel as i know those have a habit of bubbling and peeling? there was just an issue in CAMARO PERFORMERS about 6LE designs and their targa top conversion because there are no aftermarket resources for the sail panel and those bubbling issues... best bet would be to contact 6LE on here and talk to him before you go too crazy with it.. just an idea.. and McNord does some bad as work as well!!!
