Finally!
I've found decent IS spoiler for my coupe...it's red coloured.
I need advice, should I paint it in my car colour (diamond black) or just matt black with spray from local store? :cool:

Use the correct paint and it should be fine for a good while

If you do make sure they use proper paint for flexible bits (like body kits and the like) I am pretty sure it is different from regular paint that is ment to be used on metal panels

Sure Matt will know :D
