Default Quality of paint from Spoiler Depot?

Has anyone ordered one of the painted SS spoilers from SpoilerDepot, I wonder what's the quality of the paint like? If it's not as good as stock, I'll order a primered one and give it to a painter locally.

Thanks for helping out

I remember a while back a few guys got theirs painted and said that everything matched up perfectly. Good luck on your purchase!

I would recommend just buying it primered and having it painted locally, at least they could blend if they need to.

I was thinking about buying one from them. I would just get it primered. I know my paint has faded over the years. I would think it would look better if it was blended.

It probibly wont be an exact match but will probibly be pretty close. Your paint fades over time and usually painters have to blend repainted things into the car to make it look right.

Id have it blended on most colors.

Some painters have told me that black doesnt fade like other colors do especially since they quit using charcoal dust or something. So black apparently will always match up and I really doubt pure whites could be much different.

My friend bought his spoiler from there and the paint matched great. Of course different colors will require more work.

Thanks guys, your replies have been very helpful! I'm gonna talk to my painter and compare the prices. But it's good to know the paint from SpoilerDepot is a good match
