Default Little trunk panel project

Well the black trunk panel on my 98 Z34 was starting to look pretty bad so I thought it was time to do something about it. After removing it I removed the badges off the back and wet sanded it with 120 grit to rough up the surface. I masked the clear reverse light lower panel and bowtie then sprayed the top with rustoleum automotive flat black with 3 coats. I then masked the top and hit the bottom with 3 coats of VHT nightshade. I think it came out great and made the rear of the car look 10 times better. Plus now I can tell people they just got beat by a little 3.1 LS.
