    I have been really considering painting my GTP's spolier black just as a subtle thing to stick out from other GP's around here.

    Any advice on how to go about doing it?
    I just wish the police loved my car as much as i do 3.5,160 Stat,HAI,ZZP F/R STB, SSAC Headers, Reptile PCM

    Not entirely sure this is the right section....but

    Same way you'd paint any other body panel.
    Best done with a professional booth/gun/paint etc.

    But, since the spoiler is not a large panel, you could get away with rattle-cans as long as everything is super clean, and you do it right.

    Wash the hell out of it, use a wax remover, and let it dry.
    Sand it down with some 320-400grit, and wash it again, let it dry.
    Lay down some primer to give it a good base for the paint to hang on to. 2-3coats
    Sand the primer down with some 400, and make sure that everything is nice and smooth.
    Spray your paint on. Do a tack coat first, followed by very light, even coats. 2-3coats
    Spray the paint in a medium 'wet' coat. As it goes on, it should look like a nice even 'glassy' coat
    Let it dry for atleast 24 hours, the longer the better.
    Sand it with 1000grit, and spray on your clear coat. 2-3 coats, more if they are light coats.
    Let that dry for a few days, and polish it with some compound, and wax.

    Sounds like alot, but it isnt really, since the spoiler isnt that large of an object to be painting.

    This site has a few to choose from, it's where I got mine at, quality is good, price is good too.
    Grand Prix : House of Grafx, Your One Stop Vinyl Shop

    and these are the actual stripes I got, and IMO look best on the car.
