    I'd do this for you no problem BS.

    I'm currently in the middle of painting two race replica Hondas but when I'm finished them I'll have a spare slot (for free of course).

    Whereabouts in Wiltshire are you mate? The offer's there if you need help.

    ...good advice from the lads here though if you want to do it yourself.

    I would add that good old fashioned meths is great for degreasing plastic as it won't melt it as some stronger solvents can. Have a good go at it and if you mess it up I'm around mate.

    Brize Norton. Just checked and it's 55 miles away.

    I have plastic primer and two pack lacquer mate. All you'd need is 0.5 ltr of cellulose basecoat of whatever colour your motor is. You can get this matched at any good auto paint supplier. If you took the spoiler off the car delivered it and picked it up in say, 5 days I'd have it ready for you. If you've got any other small bits that need doing you could bring them too.

    The offers there, dunno if it's worth it considering the journey mind!

    I had a go at this today, tbh the rubbing down and putting the primer was the easy part. Putting the colour on the car was easy enough but it was the clear coat I had problems with. It looks better now than when I started as all the paint chips and old dodgy chip filling looked terrible. There are a "few" runs in the clear coat but after I have cut it back in a few days I'm hoping it will look much better. For a quick fix over winter its more than good enough. In the sprin, I think most of the front will be repainted to remove the stone chips etc.
