Default Rear Valance or Fangs blacked out

After the car meet yesterday, I was inspired to make some changes.
This DIY applies to the front fangs or the rear valance, I did the Fangs the same way about 10 months ago and they seam to be holding up great.
This mod should cost you about $25, and roughly 3 hours of your time.

Materials needed.

1. Krylon Flat Black paint
2. Rustoleum Matt Clear Coat Paint
3. 220 grit sandpaper
4. 320 grit sandpaper sponge.
5. Painters Tape
6. Plastic Trash Bags


Clean everything off real good with windex or similar cleaner.



Mask Off the areas, make sure to get an even line in the valley of the valence.


Have your 7 year old lightly sand with 220 grit then finish off with 320 grit while you go get a beer or beverage of choice.


Wipe off with a rag saturated in rubbing alcohol and dry with micro fiber cloth. Apply first coat of flat black, wait 20 min then apply 2nd coat of flat black.


Next, apply first coat of clear coat, wait 30 min, then apply 2nd coat of clear coat. Wait 20 min then start to remove the masking tape slowly.
Your done It started to get dark, so I'll try and get some pics during the day and from different perspectives.



Some pics with the JDM fog light installed
