Best way to repaint the front spoiler?

[Jay 535i]

Yea, but why apply matte if u want glossy? Just use glossy black after the priming .

Don't ask me why. I'm asking you why!

Qube suggested the two-step process.

The "two-step proces" qube suggested is aplyable if u use krylon fusion, wich is a special paint, and they don't make it glossy.

"Krylon Fusion Paint is the first no-prep, superbond paint for most thermoplastics, PVC, hard vinyl, as well as hard urethanes used for prototyping. No sanding or priming is required. Krylon Fusion Paint dries in 15 minutes, and is able to be used for interior and exterior applications. It is available in a wide range of colors.

Directions for use:
Remove all loose particles and apply to dry surface. For new or unweathered surfaces, wipe down with a standard paint thinner. For aged or weathered surfaces, wipe with an ammonia based cleaner."

if u use krylon that's da way to go. if not primer and glossy black should do the job. I never used krylon but i heard is very resistent to all kind of stuff.

would seem pointless excersise on a black car, better on a coloured car so the black bumper matches the car colour...my 2 cents

I understand your point, but IMHO making that spoiler glossy causes it to catch the light differently, filling out the car's appearance from the front and even making it look lower by drawing attention to the spoiler.

You may think it's silly. That's fine. No doubt the difference will be minimal, but I think this is one of those things that can be a very inexpensive and tangible improvement to the car's looks.

i have a black car and i've been thinking of painting that for ages... front and back. i've seen some cars with it painted and it looks Great (especially with corner splitters).

So yeah, if anybody has any tips or tricks for painting, i'm all ears.

Thanks

a good prime and then since it's an 'easy' color... grab some Krylon Fusion black, wait for it to dry fully, then overcoat with glossy.

I think you are getting a hand of my...small but noticeable improvements.
