Spoiler Help

[Serj]

I'm in need of a bit of help with the paintwork on my spoiler. It has quite a few scratches on it and the paint has very small patches where it has faded; these seem to come and go depending on whether it is wet or not. Links to pictures to illustrate:

It a blue plastic? or a painted plastic?

I assume it's on your coupe? Unbolt it and paint it, you can get some colour match spray from somewhere like Halfrauds made up

That looks like the spoiler is a soft plastic and where it contracts and expands in the sun it has made the paint crack and craze. Best bet is to repaint it. As said pick the colour from the likes of Halfords, give it a rub over with 240 grit to key the surface, a couple of coats of grey primer, a couple of coats of colour, then a couple of coats of clear on top. Don't flat or polish it for at least two weeks afterwards, preferably one month as you want the paint to completely harden before you flatten it and polish.
