Re: painting ur-q rear spoiler?

Glen,

If it is paintable, I would assume it needs a large dose of whatever the
bodyshops add to make paint flexible enough for painting valances and
bumper covers.

I wonder about its condition, however, if people can create cracks by
pushing with their fingers.  Also, the surface of mine doesn't look much
like paint.  It seems to be a flat, unpainted black (in its younger days)
plastic.  It sounds as if someone has already painted yours.  Is it not
rigid enough to lightly sand it by hand?
