GSI spoiler spraying/fitting

[matty_09]

i have just bought a gsi spoiler off ebay got it for a pound! it has a few scratches so am going to respray, the spoiler is grey at the moment so should i just spray it with a few coats off star silver?? also should i use metallic paint or just normal? and how many coats of paint do people recommend.

Also to fit the spoiler can i just bond on with some no more nails or do you have to use waterproof sealant?

Cheers,

im not too sure bout the painting part because ive never done it. but to fit it, but id rub it down, primer, paint , laquer just to get it looking as good as can be. im sure someone on here said there mate used no more nails. im not sure if i would trust the stuff tbh but if it works it works. you can just screw them on if u want them safe and secure. See what other people think about the fitting.

did u get the backing plate with it?

if you did then it shud just screw on and then abit of tiger seal round the edges to bond it on.

tiger seals the stuff to use

i just got the spoiler it has holes for screws, but my car doesnt. its off a body kit the lad said and doesnt weigh a thing so do you reckon abit of tiger seal will do the job???

[donnay1991]

yeah it will, no screws needed. if its light anuf stick some tiger seal on it and put it on the car. tiger seal will hold it for definate

[matty_09]

will do that then bond it on.

now just need to no about spraying it???????????????? going to get it on the car over the weekend.

[donnay1991]

if u dont want perfect quality just spray over it if its close to the colour of your car. no1 is gonna see any difference

[matty_09]

yer aslong as it doesn't stand out.

i will just sand it down and spray it star silver, should i buy star silver mettalic or just normal star silver ? do you think about 3 or 4 coats will do the job??

Cheers

[donnay1991]

oh ye 3 or 4 should be plenty. depends what ur car is? get the paint code of ur car and buy the same paint or if u knw the name of the colour of ur car.
