Painted a dragon on my spoiler, what do you all think? :D
wet sanded the originally white spoiler, spraypainted the black, used painter's tape, and then spraypainted the greenish blue color. Took off the tape to clear coat and BAM, came out with this..
I don't think it looks too bad, even though I painted it backwards LOL..
but hey, it's great for my first time ever painting something like that!!
Here's another pic:
also got a new racing wheel, check it out:

If I'm correct, he labeled it as "Mazda Speed steering wheel."
It looks great, though I have a hard time seeing the gauges now T_T.
Oh well though, I'm not gonna take it off

When I saw the title of this thread I imagined a kid with his pants around his knees spray painting a yellow dragon onto their car and I was going to b---- you out for it. But that actually doesn't look too bad. Good job.

thank you everyone for the nice replies...
this was my 1st attempt at spraypainting, though I did have my dad help in some places.
I did a lot of stretching to the original graphic, so maybe I should have done it slightly less. If I was driving, it'd be hard to figure out what it was, but if you were to walk up to my car and see it, you'd recognize it.
The best parts on it were the mid section and tail.. when I had painted the dragon in the beginning, the dragon's head did not come out as well (the coats I applied were not even and messed up), but my dad managed to save it and fix it, so it came out better.
He also helped me give the dragon a "scaly" feel... when you look at it, the paint looks scaly, and the dragon looks very defined.

It looks okay, though here was the original graphic:although the graphic probably looks good...i think it was ment to be stretched less....if it was another inch or 2 taller it'd be more recognizable
