How do you repair soft rubber spoilers?

[RagtopE30]

Specifically I am looking for a solution for resealing the surface of the spoiler. The spoiler is in surprisingly good shape, but the top surface is softer than the under side and has little air pockets exposed in a few places.

Has anyone "resurfaced" a soft rubber Pfeba spoiler? How? And can you paint these with a flex paint?

Mine is the one in the middle of the second row.

Well after some looking around I am going to experiment with some plastic-dip. I will try it first on an old iS spoiler and post results before I potentially ruin the Foha spoiler.

plastidip works just fine.

Thank you sir! Have you been down this road? What prep did you do prior to the application?

[SimplyDope]

+1 for plasti-dip

Plasti-dip has my vote as well...

Have all of you guys used this method? what is the prep and procedure? Thanks

I sanded the spoiler with a medium grain sans paper, than with a fine one until I had a soft rubber finish, then painted with flexible trim paint. ( the last step was a mistake ) the paint is cracked everywhere after two weeks and I need to do it over.. Gonna try plasti-dip as well, sorry I don't know what exact grains of sand paper I used.

I am working on a possible solution involving sanding the spoiler to foam and applying primer with flex additive. However, this may only work for minor cracks, not the deep ones we all fight.

[e30BMart]

your spoiler is cracked?

[RagtopE30]

no just the top surface has been worn down past the original smooth coating

Is it the same thing with the spoiler from 5 series? For some reason feels to soft lol should I pAint it ? Or should I justeave it alone

Update on the finished product?

I will post a pic tomorrow. It came out really nice compared to how it started. The only thing that i wish I could improve on is the little air pockets that become exposed in the foam spoilers over time. I couldn't figure out a good way to fill them before I recoated them. But the plasti-dip is a really good fix!!

Ok so it isn't exactly tomorrow ^! But here are two pics of the spoiler after Plasti-Dip. Keep in mind that prior to cleaning and coating this was ash grey and getting worse. I couldnt come up with a good solution for the exposed air pockets so I decided to live with them. This piece has been coated for about 2 months or more now and no signs of peeling or other failures. The coating is very flexible and resistant to severe scratching and scuffing. I used 6-8 coats on the most damaged surface. The foam seemed to soak up the first 3 or 4 coats pretty quickly but after I hit the 5-6 coat range it really looked good.
