Does anybody know if there is a source for these? I can find black all day long but as far as I know you can't paint the ABS spoilers. Or at least paint them well.

you can paint them with a paint that contains a flex agent, molded would be obviously be better but unless you can find an NOS argent spoiler you're probably SOL.

IIRC it's not so much the flex that's the problem as it is the release agent that's on the surface so they don't stick to the mold.

they have stuff for that as well. IIRC, you wash down the piece really good with soap and water and then spray on this mold release stuff and bake the part in the paint booth for a few minutes and then wash it again and it's ready paint. a good painter will know how it needs to be done. i would suggest calling around and finding out exactly the part is supposed to be painted.

on the other hand, i think there are also fiberglass repro's available too, can't remember where from though.

Thanks for the info on the paint.
Fiberglass is not an option, to fragile.
