Paint prep for hatchback spoiler?

[eggsalad]

Well, I got a spare spoiler. It's red, which is kind of fun on my Cyber Gray hatch.

Now I'm bored of red

What is the material of the spoiler? Is it enough to scuff it with 120 grit before spraying?

It feels as though it is fiberglass. Depending on the color of paint you are using next you may not need to use that coarse of sandpaper. I would just take the clear coat off. That can normally be achieved by using a wet sandpaper block. I'd use 800-1000 grit. Anything lower than that will leave grooves.

IMHO. If you're not skilled with bodywork, I'd take it to shop .

Meh, I have 2 of them, so if I mess one up I can just put the other one on.

Get them both done.
