i thought it would be easy to find some to paint it!.

does anybody know someone here, in NJ?..

Would have been cheaper to get the spoiler painted before it's shipped to you? Nevermind, that doesn't help you. I know a cheap place in NY.

You'll need to find an auto body shop to do it. They can look up the paint code for your car and mix the color. Also, most aftermarket spoilers dont have the best castings (at least the cheaper ones) and it will need to be block sanded and primed before they can paint it. Expect to spend anywhere from $75 to $150 to get it done right. May sound like a lot, but just supplies to mix the small amount of color, primer, and clearcoat and sandpaper will run about $50, plus 1 hr labor to prep and 1 hr to paint and sand and buff the finish. Most shops get 38-50$ per hour of paint labor.

BTW My whole family is in the Auto Body business, but in RI.

Good Luck,

i wonder if i could paint it myself?..

think it's possible to purchase the paint color?.

I suggest not to paint it yourself.

Just find decent bodyshop & have them do it.

Unless you have Auto Body experience or are really crafty I dont suggest it. You need a spray gun, materials, etc and you'd be looking at a huge investment. Look in the yellow pages and call around. Most shops will deny you because they figure you wont pay $150 to paint a $150 spoiler. But you should find a smaller shop that will do it. It is not really a good moneymaker to do so the big insurance job shops are not interested.

Good Luck
