    That plain black with graining spoiler actually looks pretty good. I wouldn't have expected so.

    How did you paint your spoiler? Did you do it in place or remove it first? Wanting to do the same to mine.

    In place:
    Paint tapes and grocery paper bags, doubled grocery weekly papers, enough to cover the working area and more.
