Painting a spoiler

CazuaLLUK · 07-21-2016, 04:37 PM

Hey fam,

I have just ordered one of these from Fast Lane Styling on ebay: http://goo.gl/0WJIxG

I need to get it painted to match the colour of my car, what would you guys say a reasonable price would be from a local car body/paint shop??

It is arriving tomorrow by DPD so I am hoping for it to come early and drive round and get some estimates.

Colour code needed - Glacier Silver metallic A83

Thanks in advance,
Liam

The paint shop will sort that out for you. They'll know where to find the sticker in your car with it on.

I'm sure there are many UK based companys selling this spoiler painted for £60 with excellent reviews and perfect colour matching, is there a reason why you didn't use them?,

Mixed reviews and using local shop means I can make sure a good job is done and check a sample before hand of the exact paint. Visited 2 places today and both had fantastic work, deal done. Being prepped/sprayed today and tomorrow and its being fitting sunday.

There's no need to do this, 3M tape works just fine!

£50 fitted, will post pics asap!

Regarding tape, I have been reading up and people saying OEM are fitted with it. So I am sure it will be fine. If not will look at other options.

I have to admit though, the guy who is doing it for me. Measured it up against the car and he was very impressed with the fit.

Very happy so far with the product: http://goo.gl/0WJIxG

Ah awesome, I didn't really like that style. M3 style looked best.
