Talking RATTLE caned the strut tower brace

Well, i bought a GM brace off ebay. Got the IOM rattle can off the www. Bought the primer, white and clear from meijer. I used frog tape from home depot to do the masking. I did not sand at any stage other than the orig aluminum for first primer coat. Many coats of all paints. Light coats at first getting heavier.

This is what I got. I included hood shot for effect.

Came out great! The more you use rattle cans the more you'll be surprised at how well pieces come out.
