It looks great. Just throw the spoiler on Craigs List.

why would someone have the clear sanded off? thats retarded. you could never get it all off without cutting the color. then you risk catching primer. the purpose of wet sanding is to remove peel, imperfections and ready the surfaces for compounds. reclearing the car after wetsanding ( unless you mess it up and HAVE to reshoot clear ) is counter productive. you then have to re-wet sand it again!
"waviness in panels"? sheet metal on cars these days are pretty damn straight and anything that is out of a VERY close tolerance is rejected before the body gets to final assembly line. ever hear of the big 3 selling "bodies in white"? ( its a term, they are not all white ) these cars are the rejects off the line. and even these bodies have to fall in spec! beyond that they are crushed or cut up to find out what went wrong.

color has NOTHING to do with orange peel, its in the clear, not the color. so of the thousands of people that have seen my car, YOUR the one who will find all kinds of peel? ok. you win. your right. i give up.

I think this is correct. Orange peel is usually caused by technique? Anything I ever painted that had orange peel was usually due to being to fast with the paint gun and not putting the clearcoat down wet enough. Correct me if I'm wrong. DCU 2021 is all i have ever used.

Got mine from Atlanta, prepainted for $229. Perfect fit, perfect color match.

There is almost no orange peel on the spoiler I got. What little bit there is, you have to stare to see it

orange peel is where the clearcoat texture resembles the skin on an orange.

ABS Plastic And Urethane

I also want to get a gt500 spoiler. Atlantamustang lists the gt500 spoiler as made out of ABs plastic. What is the difference between abs plastic and urethane? Is the stock spoiler made of urethane?
Thanks
