Hurrican Scoops Installed

Painted to match the body color.

I scuffed them up, hit with etching primer, then regular primer. Sanded and applied color (black opal), then 4 coats of clear.

I used nylon bushings to keep everything stable.

I got a 2 oz touchup bottle from automotivetouchup.com

I sprayed the color on the scoops using a Preval sprayer. For the clear, I used my HVLP gun and duplicolor ready to spray clear. I had another project I cleared at the same time.

Paint matches perfectly. I also touched up a couple of different spots and rock chips.
