Default Just got my spoiler

So I just received me freedom designs high rise spoiler. so I want to paint it flat black, any recommendation on the type of grit sand paper i should use to smooth it out. and do you think clear is necessary on flat black paint I heard that flat black tends to fade if touched a lot

IMO get a quality satin black over a flat, and use a satin clear to protect the paint. Not sure about the sand paper though.

No, the satin clear should flatten out. I have used it before and it's perfect for protecting flat/satin paint.

op most people would rather have the lt spoiler than the ls.i like the ls style way more but there are alot of people that prefer the lt style, you could maybe even find someone to trade you for what your looking for

actually, you can probably find the low rise for next to nothing.. probably free if you look hard enough.. My buddy just bought the lt1 style wing for his 01 SS clone for 250... You got a pretty desirable part man...
