Hey,

Does anyone know how closely you can colour match if you wrap a part as opposed to painting it?

I was considering getting prices to wrap a spoiler on my milano red civic.

Prob just as cheap having it painted mate

Is it bad that I'm wanting someone to ding their motor just so I can get my hands on their spoiler?

Not necessary lol someone buying a new spoiler would be good enough ;-)

Guess that is the other, safer and nicer option! lol.

Although either works for me.

Now, I know that I am a customising newbie, but, how difficult is it to paint your own spoiler ... does it really require a body shop with loads of fancy kit, or can you not just get a colour matched pot of spray paint of eBay?

Awaits the roars of laughter

Wrap it in carbon - no problem with matching colour then!

Not really considered carbon .... any gallery pics of a carbon wrapped spoiler on a milano red?

I always think Milano and carbon look great together.... A few people have done bonnets but not sure about spoilers, am sure I've seen a Mugen wing done in carbon but cant find the images...

I'm trying to see it in my head ... red and carbon do go well ... but I did sort of have my mind set on a red type r/s spoiler.

Have a look through my build thread mate

Ive wrapped a few bits including my slam panel , its quite easy with a bit patience im sure if you bought the vinyl we could come to some arrangement ?

Saint you can diy it at home with some rattle cans of the correct colour, however it is not an easy process as you have to completely flatten the surface working through different grades of wet and dry paper, prime, flat back, spray colour, lacquer, flat back and then polish back to a gloss!

You need to take your time not to get any dust or dirt in the finish or worst of all a run or it will completely spoil the look!

So basically, it is possible, but unlikely that I will be able to do it to high enough standard lol.

You may find something at your local scrap yard mate,i'd say if your thinking of carbon wrapping the spoiler i'd just do the top
