Looking to get my factory wing painted( my body guy is good)can anyone tell me how it work out for them or have any close pictures.I'am not looking to buy the fg one.
Thanks

 

I had the wing on my '91 S-4 done three times over the eight years I owned the car and each time the painter said that they knew what they were doing. All three times the paint ended up chipping. The OEM wing is made of hard rubber and requires a base coat of some special stuff Some of the other members have had better luck then I did Good luck

 

That sucks sorry to hear that,this link has a pretty good detailed way I ill see it it works.
Thanks

Try SEM plastic primer before painting. It will fill the rough surface and allow the paint to flex. There is a flex agent that can be added to the paint too.

 

I had mine painted a year ago, silver, to match the car, it still looks great and everything is fine. I gave the shop a set of instructions from the forum, but they said they knew all about the flex additive, etc.

Wing looks great matching the body color. Paid $250, I removed the old wing and installed the new one (5 min. job).

Hey Joe
Does it still have a textured look?

 

Hi SKrilla,

No texture at all, nice and smooth. I think they sanded it down before priming.

Thats the look I want thanks for the pics

 

Or... the easy way is to buy the repro fiberglass wing and paint it to match. The GTS's had the body colored wings and were fiberglass, if I recall correctly.

 

 

Looks great if thats an original wind,mines getting prepped as we speak thanks for the info and pics.
