Looks nice - What color is it, and where did you find the paint?

Thanks. I need to touch up the bottom edge of the spoiler on my GTS ("Carraraweiss Pearl"). Looks like it's a 3 step deal.

Paint match from a spray can looks pretty good.
This is without any clear coat on the spoiler compared to a fender that has clear bra on it.

Let us know how it looks after the clear. I think since it’s a totally different part than the bumper, it should look fine.

Better late then never.

It's been too long..... like walking around with a tooth missing. I had life get in the way of finishing up the lip so tonight I finished it up.

Color match is pretty good. Once I get the car out in the sun I will make a better comparison.

I give https://www.automotivetouchup.com/ a good 7 our of 10.

The only issue I had using spray can's is the occasional splatter from the tip...... If I had to do it again I would probably use a rag with some paint thinner to wipe the spray tip while applying.

So much nicer than Black IMO...mine is painted as well.

Do you happen to recall seeing anywhere this black rubber part may do while you were doing all the work?

The next day of course I scrapped it getting into the local gas station.

If this one gets banged up I'm going to sticker bomb it.

Oh, no! Any chance it'll buff out?
