After some rather enthusiastic driving on various Scatter Rallies around South Wales, my M-tech front spoiler is looking pretty worse for wear! Stone chips have taken the paint off, showing yellow underneath. In some places the paint has flaked off as a result.

I think its best just to respray the whole thing. Theres some clear film that can used to protect the paint. I've it on Aston Martins.

Really to do the job right you need to rub the spoiler down to base material and then spray the spoiler with a primer that bonds onto the spoiler. This will act as a key for the more normal primer and top coats. If you don't use this bonding coat then the paint will chip or flake off very easily.

THought about this a bit more and the paint you need initially is called 'adhesion promoter X2' I sprayed my spoiler with this as it was chipping badly and the paint now seems more resistant to chips.

adhesion prmoyot is the same as plastic primer, its a clear liquid and basically just aids the sticking to the panel and the primer.
best off getting the whole lot painted, not a big or hard or expensive job tbhh.
