Default Soo... i finally bought a lip spoiler... how should i go about painting it?

im thinking i can just go the cheap way and just do it with cans.. its comes in a black color already.. but im sure that its gonna be that flat plastic black color..

since its just the little spoiler... ya think i can just rattle can it?

i paid $29.95 including free shipping from k2motor.com ... anxious to see how it looks.. i really didnt see paying $90-$200 for one just made for Audi..its basically the same thing.. just take a little extra loving to get this one to fit.. i've read lots of people have been doing it w/ no problems..

how expensive is the spray cans of your color from the stealership?

make sure the paint matches 100%...it would look like $hyt if it's a different shade or something, or it doesnt have enough clearcoat, etc.

When i did my mesh grill i ordered the paint+clearcoat from the stealeship and even then the didnt match. So i'm gonna have it done professionally.

What a coincedence I bought the exact same thing from the same vendor, mine hasn't arrived yet. I'm really not in a rush to put it on right now, just got it because it was cheap plus free shipping. Let me know how it turns out, post some pics or something.
