Angry would it be hard to repaint...

Just curious would it be hard to repaint a 3 peice spoiler that was already mounted on the car with adhesive tape. Im not happy with finish of the paint, seems like they would have to take the spoiler off to repaint it, that would be a pain!!!

Hm, well it already seems you realize they'd have to take it off the car to get to every aspect of it.

I wouldn't say it was THAT big of a deal to take it off since they are repainting it. The adhesive tape part might be a bit of a pain to reapply but just getting some more tape should do the trick.

I'd rate it a 5/10 on the p.i.t.a. meter. Definetely worth it to make the car better cosmetically though.

it's adhesive, if they have the right tool it's not all that hard to take off

Maybe have someone do light sanding/buffing job on it to bring up the luster?

The job can be done but they would have to mask off the rear end of the car. I had my front bumper re-painted while it was still on the car and it came out flawless....

DGOT20s has a good point too. I just had my 3 pc spoiler color sanded and buffed and it looks like they just re-painted it.. I would try that option first before painting... Good luck
