Having followed Jon's advice with an investment in the Zaino kit he put together my motor has been transformed from a dull pink turd into a shiny brilliant red turd winkeye

My problem is that the painted rubber boot spolier now looks even more kak than previously and it's getting on my wick big time, :evil:

What's the best approach to remove all of the paint from the rubber?

and

once this has been done how should I treat the spoiler to keep the exposed rubber looking fresh?? (I will keep it black for a while as the look has grown on me :)

Thanks in advance all :D

If the paint is badly cracked, then the spoiler is scrap. you cant remove the paint successfully.

If it's just faded, then get it resprayed !

Aaaah, I see,

I'll have to scrap it so, paint is badly cracked and through to the rubber on the top section. :?

Cheers for the info Mark :thumb:
