Rear Spoiler on M50i

stockli81 · 07-14-2021, 11:26 PM

Don't ask how it happened, but garage came down on the rear spoiler and scratched it, see pic... Question, would folks recommend repair and repaint Carbon Black M? Will the paint look off in certain light or night?Or would you just buy a brand new spoiler Carbon Black M?

Hi--you asked me about the scratch repair I had done, from the keying scratch on my cross country road trip. It does look just like new. Can't tell any paint difference, but the paint shop did a ton of blending with surrounding panels.

I have Mineral White, which is notorious for being difficult to match. I don't know if Carbon Black is as difficult as MW, but I'd still take it to a paint shop and start in that direction, unless you get big roadblocks.

Depends on how picky you are about your cars and how tall you are? How often are you going to see the top of the spoiler?
