Question Spoiler repair/respray

I've picked up a rear spoiler but as you can see from the photo below it's in need of repair and a respray. What is the best way to repair the damage to the paintwork before respraying to match my car? Any help will be appreciated as I'm not sure how to procede at the moment, strip it right back? or fill the cracks?

I was hoping that In wouldn't have to strip the whole lot back just spray over the paint that's there already, I'm not sure if it's all going to come off that easily.
Here's a photo of the whole spoiler.

Its not ment to be easy. It has to go back down to the fiberglass as the new paint might react with the old paint. Use nitromors paint remover but rinse thougherly after and sand down with 200gt wet and dry to get a key. Then use primer (sanding between layers) then paint (min, 3 layers) remember that metalic cars need a laquer coat. Hope this helps you out.

It's not fiberglass it's rubber like the oe one as far as I can tell that's why I don't want to strip it right down, just fill the damage rub down and re-prime then paint, not wanting to mess round trying to prime the rubber.
