cool, hopefully it lasts a long time. it should. i was thinking about painting mine but i was afraid it wouldnt look too hot and i would want to take it off...but i do like it...so i guess i could always paint it later.

Iooks good. I've been thinking of doing my trunk too but it would be too much if I decide to stripe it.

I like that a lot. I think the painted decklid loks a ton better than the stick on honeycomb thing.

if i had pictures of my steps i could do a writeup but i didnt take them so ill just tell you everything...
Materials Used-
SEM Satin Black Trim Paint (<$10)
1 Roll of Masking Paper (<$10)
1 Roll of 3M Maskin Tape ($5)
Razor Blade
1 Roll of 1/8" 3M Fine Line Tape ($8)
1 or 2 3M Scuff Pads
Putty Knife
Step 1- Take putty knife and lightly scrape under each emblem and you gently pull it off.
Step 2- Take the scuff pad and scuff the valence and decklid till it is dull. (Easier to do the decklid with it popped)
Step 3- Take paper towl and clean off scuffed areas
Step 4- Use fine line tape to outline top edge of the decklid where the black will stop, and outline the edge where the black will stop on the valence.
Step 5- Use Masking tape and paper to cover the whole area around the areas youre going to paint.
Step 6- Tape over the license plate lights unless you can get them out.....i couldnt
Step 7- Close decklid
Step 8- After every area around the decklid and valence is masked good, start painting. Start with a light coat (it shouldnt be solid black with the first coat).....Let it set for about 10-15 minutes and then spray on more paint. Let it set for about 15 more minutes.
Step 9- Remove masking paper and very carefully remove tape around the painted edges....be carefull not to pull off the fresh paint....
Step 10- Put the emblems back on
Step 11- Take pictures and show them off on mustangforums

Good right up but I would suggest using a wax / silcone remover before scuffing.

A good claybar/polish/wax job would triple that shine.
