i wouldnt recomend using aerosol mate. its worth spending the money and getting it done properly, otherwise you will do it , not be happy with it and either rip the things back off or spend the money anyway. thats what i would do.
you would probly need to change the front panel too which would mean arsing about with the radiator and stuff too and the amount it would cost you to buy the car and have the work done at a body shop you might as well save it up and get a ph2. there isnt much difference in insurance cost...
its pretty easy mate you need a set of spanners, sockets and torx drivers and you have to undo the front bumper on that corner to get to the screws that are under there then its simply take bolts out take wing off then offer the new wing on and put a few bolts in to keep it in place the check...
you could get some 2pack laquer and mix a little bit of black cellelose based base coat into it then just spray them till they are as dark as you want them dont forget to scotch your lights first tho. and i dont think the police like it nether. i also know some one who used window tinting on...
what paint has gone on it?. assuming it is 2pack paint that has gone on it and it has been baked in a low bake oven you should be ok to fit it but i would leave washing it or waxing it for a few days as the wet can still mark fresh paint.

yeah that is what you would do but you would havto spread your filler feather than the plate you had welded in so you could feather the edges of the filler into the reast of the tailgate to make it as smooth as possible. dont expect to get it compleatly smooth first time nether, it may take a...
