Can the original factory fitted rubberised rear spoiler be successfully repainted?

 

Mine suffers from the usual cracking/peeling. Has paint technology moved on that allows an improved acceptable finish?

 

I'm aware that fibreglass replacements are available but reckon that it'd be more cost effective to paint original.

 

Your comments, as ever, are much appreciated.

In short, no.

 

I had mine proffesionally repaired by a body shop and it looked fine for about a month the the peeling cracking etc started to re-appear. The original is a kind of rubber that suffers from water intake and expands and contacts according to the weather and how damp it is.

 

Save some money in the long run and just go straight for the Fiberglass one. Wish i'd done that in the first place.

no, unfortunately not, well, I suppose it depends what condition yours is in, they tend to soak up water and peel away at the edges, if that is the case, then no chance, however, if yours is in excellent condition, which is highly unlikely given the age of these cars, then possibly, but to be honest mate, your gonna have to remove it and replace with a fibreglass replica, if that's the route you wanna go down, could go smoothed, high level, mid level etc. although they would require you to spray/fill the holes in the boot lid...
