Ok so I got the new top on and decided that I could no longer accept the spoiler looking faded and horrid. I planned on taking it to Auto Techniques and letting them spray it for me. But I figured hey, why not give a rattle can a shot since I'm going to bring it in anyway if it messes up. Plus, I can't look much worse than it already does.

Disclaimer: This was done in only about two hours in my garage. There is a bit of trash in the clear from doing this in an open atmosphere. This is, by no means, intended to be shop quality. It is only to make it look a lot better than it used to.

Sanded down with 400 grit sand paper until the entire surface was smooth, even, and had no gloss. Painted with flat black paint and automotive clear bought from Home Depot. I will post pics with it on the car in a few hours. I want to make sure the clear and paint cure fully before remounting.

Here's the best "before" pic I have.

Looks much better. See that wasn't so bad huh?

 

Not at all. Was afraid at first because I really didn't want to make things worse but it came out pretty well.

 

I'm so proud of you! Lol glad it came out good.
