Hey, all. When I started the prep for priming my MK4 I found some posts from Jeff K. and a few others about fixturing they used for the doors, hood, and trunk lid. I used this to make my fixtures but have not primed the scoop yet. Any thoughts or merit to a quick flip fixture for it, or just suspend with hooks and wire to get to both sides? I'd like to keep it horizontal just to keep it in the same painting plane as the hood. I'm going to be painting a metallic paint.
Thanks,
Mark
Or...am I missing an easy way of flipping it without getting complicated, and wrecking the primer I have already sprayed?
Thanks,

I used my engine stand.
I ran bolts through the engine mounting holes to an L bracket I fabricated. mounted wood to the top of the L brackets and secured the scoop to it running down the back underside. cant see that part anyway when its mounted. That way I can spray and then just rotate the engine mount to get both sides and have the right alignment.

Mark,
That's the only part that I don't have a fixture for. For polyester and urethane primers and sealer I shoot the top side first thing in the session and by the end it's dry enough to turn over carefully to do the underside. Same for base but for the clear I have to shoot the top and then come back the next day to do the underside.
