How did you paint the spoiler? I know how to spray but did you do one side at a time or hung it some how and sprayed both sides at once.
Just about to primer and I'm not sure how? Its the bggest thing ive sprayed so far. For the front bumper i just layed it down because i was only doing one side, cant quite work out the best way to do the spoiler.
Perhaps do the under side first so that i definately wont get any overspray on the top side? Not sure at all.

Side at a time, just make sure it's completely dry when you turn it over and don't spray too much to make it drip down.

Do it patchy, so a light layer on each side, then come to second layer and start blending the join in, come time to rub it down before lacquer and it'll look fine

I've primed the underside, gonna leave it a few hours then do the flip side, hopefully it all works out.

If you did it in a hot enviorment it would be very easy, I did mine last summer outside set in about 15 minutes for earch layer. In the cold it's going to be annoying.

Hanging it would of been the best option, thats how I did my wing, wingmirrors, badgeless grille and all other parts that I've sprayed.
The only thing I havent hung while spraying is the alloys lol
