I have a 2002 mustang gt, i wanted to do a spoiler delete on it so i took off the spoiler and put tape over the holes so i could clean the grime off from under the spoiler with out getting water in the hole. But when i took the tape off the holes the paint came off with it! So i threw my spoiler back on. Even though with the spoiler on you cant see the paintless area, i still really want the spoiler off. Any idea what i could do? Is it just cheap paint of the trunk?

It depends if your car has ever been painted before, could be from a bad prep job in that spot.. The cheap way to delete you wing with out getting the body work or the trunk re-painted .. Is to get xmas tree plugs.. ( the push in type looks like a tree) You just paint those and insert them in the holes with a small amount of rtv to keep the water out. That way if you want you wing back on just pop them out bolt your wing back on..

Paint is very thin. I pulled a spot off taking off the sticker the dealer puts on for free advertising.
