Rattle can painted the airdam. Rustoleum "Almond Gloss" isn't TOO bad.

Who's airdam is that? It looks like it blends to the fenders better than a lot of them I have seen. I like it better.

The airdam is from here: http://www.classicdatsun.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I checked out as many as I could find, and I liked this one the best.

That is flipping innovative - talk about using your noodle. Then again, I wonder how many times he's inhaled paint, and how many VOC fumes he's been exposed to over time?

I have been looking for that paint and I swear there are tons or Rust-O-Leum at my Home Depot but none labeled"almond Gloss"

Is there a number on that can besides the color label?
