    Seriously... just clean it off and shoot it, it ain't gonna be pretty in another week anyway.

      I just ordered the SEM trim paint online last night (3 cans)... 1 for the spoiler and 2 for the shadowline.

        The rear spoiler is so damn porous; it's soaking up all of the paint. I've put about 8 light coats on it thus far. I'm going to let the paint cure for a day or so and then hit it again with 5-6 more coats. Then I'll let it cure for 10 days while I'm in NY. Does this sound like a plan?

          BUMP

          I'm about to repaint my spoiler. The car is schwarz black. What kind of paint should I use? This: http://www.premiumautocare.com/semtrblpr.html ?

            Assuming you don't have an air compressor at home, your best cheapest option is to goto an auto parts store and get them to make you a spray can of schwarz paint. It's cheap and easy.

              I don't know of any auto stores around here that mix paint. Anyone know of a good spot online to order some?

                    just FWIW, both my front and rear spoilers are done with 3M bumper/Trim paint, the rear is still perfect, the front would be if it werent for a few scrapes. You guys are totally churching up a 45 minute process (as long as its not too cold where you are)
