This is how it looked for a while, i'm in the process of making the cutout grille again.

After a wash at home, probably one of the last photos where the paint was still nice. My clear coat has since decided it no longer like my paint and they're going their separate ways.

clear coat seperation is so common in cars from the 90s.

 

Looks at most commodores, toyotas and falcons with COB paintwork. They all have issues.

 

The problem is actually from the way the cars were painted, the base was left too long before the clear was applied, means that the poly elements of the two paints don't mix and stick like they should.

thanks for the comments guys. I'm thinking of not worrying about the spoiler risers now, as having the top spoiler makes the bottom one look better, the risers look better by themselves.

 

jaaay, no good with the part number, had a look through my owners manual and couldn't find the receipt anywhere.
