I am thinking about picking up a used OEM lip spoiler for my AM TL.

Is AM paint pretty easy so that any decent bodyshops should be able to match my factory color? What brand of paint is good? Dupont or anything else?

 

AM is easier to match than WDP or SSM.

As for paint, leave that to the bodyshop?

 

Any decent body shop should be able to match your paint color - this is why the paint code is on the door sill. I would make sure that they prime your spoiler properly first, and then spray it with a couple of coats of clear when its done. The last thing you want is for the paint to chip off and expose the primer/old color underneath.

 

oem spoilers come painted...why are you finding a body shop?

 

Because this very cheap used one I am looking at is differnet color.

 

To help them match it, you can take your fuel filler door to the shop. They will mix up the paint and spray it on a piece of cardboard and hold it and your filler door outside in the sunlight. The paint can be adjusted to match the filler door and the spoiler will match perfectly.

 

beware that it's about 100 dollars for a good quality paint job while you can buy the prepainted one for around 120 on ebay!
