Spoiler repair/respray

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.

Did you buy this on ebay recently?

But how do you expect the filler to take to rubber

[E11]

it does not need filling just rub it back prime with a a paint that will stick to rubber fine and just spray desired colour

no point doing a half arsed job do it properly and it will look good

Adz is right here. you need to take it right back

If its cracking in places now i recon it will continue and it will end up a mess in the end. Do it properly and rub the bad areas right back. It should look much better as a finished job this way

If its the same type of rubber as the standard one its not ment to be painted.

Paint shops/ body shops use a special plastic primer 1st to prevent the paint
from cracking.
You will have to remove all old paint and start again to do it properly, this will be a nightmare.
Try a jet wash 1st to try and bring the paint off or if you know anyone who works in a body repair shop get them to try with compressed air.
If not you will have to sand it off.

if it is rubber you have to use paint with elastisiser (excuse the speeling)in it. This allows the paint to stretch without cracking. Beware tho as painting that mixture is a C U Next Tuesday!
