Jsut bought n used R spoiler off of ebay. ONly problem: the spoiler is red and my car is black. I know it ouwld be cheaper id i painted it myself.

I was thinking i would try to paint it myself as best i can. If that turns out really bad or sumthin, id just take it in and have it professionaly done.
question is, would it cost more to get my sh*tty paintjob off when i took it in, or is it the same?
im just really strapped for cash, but that spoiler isnt doin me any good if its not painted and on my CAR! THANKS!

96 850R
Stock for now except for Pinstripes, grill, door inserts, deck and PEGZ

If you have experience painting things, go ahead and paint it yourself. Espically if you have a spray gun (not just spray paint cans) and a nice booth to work in you could do it fairly well with out too many problems. With spray paint cans you'll run into uneven coats and other things that you won't like. I'd just put up the bucks and have a professional do it and then install it yourself. The painting shouldn't be more than $200.

take it in to have it painted- and make sure they don't paint that little black lip on it- leave that paintless, looks better IMO.

we are talking about the rear spoiler-correct?
