I've just got myself an IS lip for the old banger and will need to spray it a more appropriate colour.
Now, the spoiler itslef is quite flexible so I need a paint that won't crack should the spoiler flex. I'm guessing that vinyl dye (with an appropriate basecoat) from Halfrauds will do it.
Any other recommendations or tips?

Plastic primer and normal paint from halfrauds!
I used normal primer, and the paint is starting to flake off
It doesn't bend much once it's fitted.

I'm not sure how succesful you will be with spray cans.
When a bodyshop sprays flexible plastic panels etc, they add some plasticiser to the paint to allow it to remain flexible.
Not sure if a paint factors can mix up an aerosol with plasticiser added. Probably worth a try. I guess this applies to primer and topcoat.
