So an update is the following:

I'm watching paint dry....lol...the color match paint is a factory paint match from Napa, its more or less an aerosol version of what you could spray with a air gun. It is going to take a little while dry, and since we're out of the summer heat I'm guessing I'll be waiting till the middle of this week for it have a proper cure time. But after that I am going to respray with a lacquer clear coat. I did this on the front wheel air blocks and it made a much better result that the paint alone. So It looks like I'm waiting on a warm day to spray the clear coat.

In a bit of other news, I had to deal the my the aftermarket sway bar rubbing on the factory exhaust. So my Subaru is now the proud owner of a "superb" quality Thrush welded muffler. I would have preferred the mangaflow to do the exhaust, but there are no local supplies, and I did have the time to wait to have one shipped to my house. I'm happy with the exhaust...I guess. It will have to do for now!
