Wondering if I need to replace spoiler!!!

My GTA is getting a fresh crate 350 and the next stop is the paint shop. I have the aerowing spoiler and the paint and clear coat is flaking off. I was wondering if it can be simply repainted or should I shop for a new one.

dude sand it down and primer it again and then paint it how do you think it got to the color it is it once was fiberglass then it was primered then it was painted so just reverse the process and your good to go brotha

Ok thanks. I just thought because it being made of rubber it would be difficult to sand and paint. But I will try.
Thanks

It's just going to crack in a few months/weeks/days/etc. If you're springing for a new paintjob, spring for a fiberglass repo spoiler from one of the sponsers above. You'll be happier in a few years when your spoiler is still in one piece and not cracked to crap.

That is...if it's the 87-90 style.
