Spraying Spoiler

[leeds2592]

Hi,

I've got a 51 Clio Dynamique which has obviously got the Dynamique spoiler but it is in the black plastic, not colour coded like the 172 spoiler. I'm looking to spray it to match the car but not really sure what to do.

Is it a job I could do myself or should I just leave it to the professionals?
Also, I much should I be looking at for it spraying? About £60?

Cheers

I paid £25 for mine to be sprayed at my local bodyshop!
(He originally quoted me £40 though, just haggled with him Being a poor student often pays off)

That all :O ... might aswell try the haggling and have it done at a bodyshop.

Did you do any prep to it like sanding it down to get it smooth? Or did the bodyshop do it all?

wet sand with 600 the 800 then 1200 grit. 50p a sheet. prime, using normal grey primer, £3(i get it cheap though) paint mixed. £10 for an aeresol(sp) then laquer £3. flat back with 2000 grit paper to rid the orange peel effect you get with cans thenpolish with a cutting compound up to a shine.

time....4 hours? if you were closer i'd do it for ya
