   Reckon there will be any vtr roof tip spoilers lying around in any scrappys? Got one near me but never been tbh. Will it be ok if i sand it, prime it, spray it with matching paint (spray can from halfords), then laquer it. Will it get a good finish if i take time and do it well as in shiny etc.

   yes mate should be able to get a spoiler from a breakers/scrappy, as for painting you would get a much better finish with a compressed sprayer than a can, but it should be ok with a spray can as its a small part tbh, on the final paint wet sand it with plenty of water them wipre it all off and spray the laquer and buff it up with a polisher if you have one if not dont bother flattening the paint prior to laquer

   okies thats cool. I aint got a buffer so i wouldnt need to sand it before laquer is that right? and how much would you say a spoiler is there and how would i get it off?

   Should you really sand down before laqcure because even buffing it with a machine polisher after wont touch the sandin marks becaue they will be under the lacqure.
   
   When im spraying i went n dry before last coat of primer and before last coat of paint. That maybe wrong but i have found it works for me.
