rubber/foam spoiler repair!
howdy fellas! i'm in the midst of painting my 89 GTA, and did not sand down the foam spoiler, due to paint chipping so badly, i decided to just leave it, and save for the hawks.
and a trip to the carwash today, with a few extra quarters, i had some extra time, so i went at the chips with the hose
haha, and the paint was coming off pretty clean (but making a mess all over the rest of the car, and my glasses).
so, my question, is what type/brand paint should i use on it? i know its that weird foam crap, and probably real selective on what sticks to it. i still want to get the hawks down the road, but just want to do something quick for now(dont want a chipped up spoiler with a fresh paint job).
let me know what you guys suggest!

Re: rubber/foam spoiler repair!
If you wanted to do something really cheap and sort of temporary, probably try krylon plastic fusion in gloss, that stuff sticks to polished plastic in below freezing temperatures. That I suggest if you don't want to mess with primer and sanding it down. Then maybe throw on a coat of clear or could use even clear spray paint. It's worth a try, for spray paint that plastic fusion has incredible adhesion.
