Yep hopefully the antenna works out better this time. I had a dream last night where I painted the stuff above and the base coat bubbled. :s If that happens I am going to be pissed!
If you end up having issues again, may be worth a shot getting the guys that do the plastic bumper repairs to fill the hole. This was what I was planning doing when I was thinking about getting rid of the antenna
Yeah I'm using all the right products, but with luck and inexperience combined, the odds are always stacked against the DIY painter.
But the good news is they came out great and are installed on the car. I'll upload pictures tomorrow.
I cleaned and detailed the car as well for the first time in a long time... looks different!

Eh? Trim you see in the early posts has been on the car for 12 months without an issue.
Getting the hole filled by a bumper repair place is definately what I would do next time. The different materials seems to interfere with the metallic flakes and even possible the paint itself. The result is that although the wing was perfect when I first painted it - about 5 days later I can now faintly see the circle where the antenna hole once was. Very annoyed but I will have to live with it.
Anyway, here are some piCtArs of the wing tips.

I will upload some soon with them on the car

Great job man, Someone should make mouldings like that, plastic, fiberglass, or CF I would definitely buy them!
First I've seen this thread... For someone who's been contemplating painting random objects on my own car with no prior paint/body experience, you're quite the inspiration!
Car looks great and every Supra deserves an owner like you!
Keep it up.
Girls come and go, but these Supras will stick around to keep us company
