Cheapest way to get a painted spoiler?
 

I'm looking at either the 5 Axis or TRD style spoiler. I noticed they sell painted ones for around 330$+.
I also saw on eBay and various other places those cheap Urethane or whatever material spoilers that are the same, but unpainted and anywhere around 80$ or so.
I was wondering, in your guy's opinion or experience, would it be cheaper to by those cheap urethane ones and get it painted? Or just buy the painted official spoilers?

I have a whiteout FRS which may be more expensive/difficult to paint match :(

If you are DIY savvy you should definitely try out the cheaper options. You are looking at ~$80 for wing + ~$50-$100 paint materials depending what you already have. I tried this method and it came out fine, but there were definitely some imperfections due to not having a controlled painting environment. Took me roughly a weekend to do it, and I was taking my time.
There are tons of threads of spoilers being painted whiteout professionally and debate if they have it matched perfectly. Maybe 90% at best?
Looking back I would probably go with buying a painted version from the beginning.

Quality takes time and time is money.

I bought a 5 Axis off of Ebay in Hot Lava. The color match was perfect and the paint quality was much better than factory. If you don't have DYI skills and you want good quality this is probably the least cost alternative. By the way it came from a So Cal dealer, unfortunately I can't remember which one.

You can get it painted however you want, but getting painted to match what you have on your car is another story.

Painted in same color? Expensive
Painted to match your car exactly? More expensive

The word paint and cheap should never be in the same sentence.
