removing sedan spoiler
I was thinking about repainting my spoiler.
I see there are two bolts which hold it down, but are there clips that keep it in place as well?
I haven't tried to take it off, just kind of took a good look at it.

I am going to remove and paint mine also. When looking through the access hole I saw a nut on a stud looking fastener and the plastic plug in, but didn't see another nut. Where is it at?
I've already ordered a spray can of mica black(952) spray paint from www.paintworldinc.com. What material is the spoiler made of? Not that it matters much. The paint sure chips off of it easily. Wind sucks it off maybe. Good luck on your paint job.

Mine's in the same boat. Hopefully I'll be buying a gun this summer to clean up my Leggy's paint.Bdub wrote:Thanks.
I don't need to remove the paint, the car is doing a good job at shedding it itself.

Update.
I painted my spoiler last summer, and it came out pretty good. Could have been better, finish wise, but I prepped the hell out of it.
I gave the car a nice wash by hand today, and I was inspecting all the poor battle wounds that old bitch winter gave to my poor car.
I discovered that the relatively new paint on the spoiler is bubbling up and cracking. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I suppose I'm going to have to lay down a a lot more primer. The paint just doesn't want to stick to that damn thing.

What are you going to do with the wing and what color is it? I may be interested in it as mine lost its somewhere in its life and I kinda like the idea of having the stock spoiler.
