WRB paint for rear spoiler?
 
Picked up a spoiler that came unpainted - was wondering if anyone has experience using a WRB spray can or anything of some sort? And if so which vendor/brand seemed to match the best?

Car is the 2015+ WRB, so a little darker than the older color

Since yours is the K7X WRB like mine, I would take it to a shop. The '15+ WRB is three-stage and could be very difficult to match outside of a body shop with proper curing and clear coat.

im currently tinting and testing k7x for a molded rocket bunny deck lid im doing for a customer. its much more difficult than 02c wrb for the reasons mentioned above

on my Argento FR-S. Matched perfectly.

I'd take it to a body shop, multi-stage color paint is hard to match.

Awesome - I just got a can of that too. I also have another can from another company I used to do some touch up on the very bottom of the front of the bumper. Initially it was quite a bit darker than the surrounding areas, but seems to have blended in a bit better over the past few weeks. I'll keep an eye on it. Hopefully it doesn't fade to death :(

Update on this -

When painting the wing and clearing it, all of the spray can colors were just a touch too dark. I'm imaging this is because it doesn't have the depth that the 3-stage coat does.

I ended up ordering a pre-painted WRB spoiler for only $144 off ebay and was shocked because the paint is pretty much a perfect match to the OE K7X color.
