I've created custom spoilers out of balsa wood. Now, i know wht you re thinking "it's too fragile""it'll break on the first rollover""it wont paint well" ect. To remedy this problem, i simply coated the spoiler in nail glue and let it dry. the glue creates a hard slick surface, perfect for painting without the wood soaking it up. Pics to follow.

RAWR!!! That is tight if you can paint it silver I will buy it from you for 5$ shipped

Re: MYOS (make your own spoiler)

Lets see some pics!

But Nail Glue? why not just coat in in a thin layer of bondo?

Re: MYOS (make your own spoiler)

Not a bad idea. Easily manipulated and contoured, plus feather light, balsa could be a good choice. I guess the whole issue is whether the coating or strengthener you apply will deal with abuse. Looks like its time to raid the GF's nail polish basket for some diamond-hard laquer.

Thanks for the tip, black_mustanggt. - mech
