acura roof spoiler

yesterday I order a roof spoiler from ebay and a guy on here told me I could go to Napa auto and give them my car color code and they could get a spray bottle from me and I can paint it on and it will look good.. but the guy called me back and told me my cars too new they don't have the paint.. what should I do because I don't want to pay 150 to get it painted

see if there is a finish masters nearby, they should be able to whip up the paint for you, just need your paint code.

Sarona. I like it but it needs some work to be finished to a factory shine.

AC..Vinnie is right. Whether you spent $50 for a JDM spoiler or a few hundred dollars for a Sarona spoiler, spending the money necessary to paint it right is important. Especially if you've spent the money for a Sarona. You'll regret it a lot if you don't get it painted right. Trust me, you'll kick your own butt if you don't.

^ my Sarona needed work before painting. "ready to paint" was far from the truth. Was refinished, prepped, and shot professionally and it shows. Aside from a mediocre fit it looks factory.

HEK, I bought mine from a fellow Acuraziner. Check Ebay-I've seen them there before. But I haven't looked for them lately.

HEK, on Ebay, look for a dealer named "built4race". He was the one that had them for about $50 on Ebay.

It attaches to the top of the rear window on the glass only. You can try 3m automotive tape (double-sided) and see how that works. I have not put mine on yet but I plan on using the tape first, if that does not work I will explore other options. Do a search and see what others here have used
