Glad you got the spoiler ok mate. I can't be of any help as I just took it to a local bodyshop. If its your first attempt you might want to try it on something smaller to begin with just to practise.

well for 40 quid i dnt mind funking it up!but im sure it will be just fine! dno weather to go for colour coded or matt black!!i think i a play on photo shop will help!

use 800 grit first all over it, then down to a 1200, then 1500 grit under running water for best results.

oh, and of course you want to spray it cherry red!

fair enough theres lots of info on spraying to plastic eg bumpstrips,but i just thought it will be slightly different spraying on-top of a painted surface!as hydeyho allready know's there area few blemishes and cracks where the previous yellow primer is showing! (still not bad for 40 quid tho!) oh and about getting the colour mixd!is it true that halfords can mix it up for me! i have the code of the guide on cliosport!? any info would be greats guys!

 

[fUbAr]

yes, they can mix it.

basically spend a bit of time on it!
