[kapt]

My whale tail had been repainted by the PO. The black grill area borders were in the wrong location and the border lines were ragged. So I decided repaint. I was impressed by how many fasteners hold this thing together. I used Diamont grand prix white for most of the tail, matte black for the grill areas, and 3m fineline tape to mask.

Here's a before pic. Notice the borders of the black are wrong and the paint had yellowed, especially when viewed against the rest of the car.



I finally figured out where the small flecks of paint were coming from after a long drive. The back of the tail had not been prepped correctly, so the paint just flaked off.


I created a template of where I thought the black grill area should be.



Sealed.
