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.

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

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. |
