Get it painted properly, it may cost you £100 or so depending on what work is involved, but it will be worth it in the end.

Saw a front lip spoiler that had the DIY treatment recently, it actually ruined the look of the car.

If you do paint it with cans, it will look all patchy and blotchy. But post the pictures on here, so we can all have a laugh.

I bought myself a Sealey 3hp compressor and a good spray gun for doing any small paint or touch up jobs. But something as large as a spoiler I would leave it to the professionals.
For the very simple reason that a spray can will never be able to produce results anywhere like as good as a proper spray gun. If they could we would never need a proper bodyshop again.
Either that or I'm a bit more fussy than you in wanting my cars to look good.

The spoiler looks like a poor replica, as there's something not right with the brake light. It looks like it's been added later.

Picked it up yesterday and it needs quite a bit of work so its going to a friends uncle who sprayed a spoiler for his BMW and its immaculate....only charged him £20 but it was already primered so im getting it done for £40.
