    don't paint

    You don't have to paint it. It's a Toluidene Red pigment that chalks under U.V. light from the sun. Most organic red pigments have that white powder on the surface. Just use some buffing compound and a little muscle. You will be amazed that it will look like new again.
    Inorganic pigments such as Cadmium Red are not allowed any more because of toxicity? Organic pigments don't have the same hiding power, nor the weather resistance. If you don't want it to chalk again or use buffing compound again, then protect the surface with a silicone wax or clear coat it.

              Congrats on the find!
              FMS bought out the motherload of factory spoilers from a supplier back in the day. They are all gone now.

                Yep, the last FMS spoiler sold on ebay for $132 and change just a few weeks before Christmas. I know, I watched get bought by someone, as I couldnt afford it at Christmas time. I wanted it badly, especially a new one at $132!
