Default A8 Front Cleaner Apperance

The front spolier not being painted on Audi 2000 A8 didn't appear acceptable to me for a car of such class. I followed the correct procedure for painting by cleanning, using a plastic preparation solution, primer, base coat and then clear coat. Did the painting myself with full body-suit and breating equipment.
Also,the unpainted section of the rear bumper was painted. Overall this really improved the appearance of the vehicle. As a note, I have never srap painted before so I did considerable reseach on automobile painting then made several trials to acquire the technique.

No such thing as too many gauges

You are absolutely correct...Never too many gauges!!! Oil pressure on the left and voltage on the right. I enjoyed making this panel for the gauges because I could then locate switches and LED for the water methanol system.

Here is the finsihed rear bumper section. Not only painted the top and bottom sections but also sealed up the small access plate for the tow secure eye bolt.
