u should have only t-cut it once or twice then used a high quality wax/polish and really worked it into the paint surface to help restore the colour. i doubt theres much red left now after 15 t-cuts lol. i imagine u could get it sprayed for like £20 - £30 anyways. Only cost me £40 for a wing...and spoiler is much smaller. Just depends on how sprayers there are in ur area i guess.

Are you using the red pigmant T-cut or just the normal original tack? As said you reallt on need a couple of goes with that stuff and it takes all the poo off bringing back the original colour.
