Okay so my spoiler is tiger sealed to my car (ta previous owner ±_±) and it needs respraying... i'm wondering how to go about it lol, should I leave the tailgate on the car and mask the car up? open the boot lid and make the spoiler sit vertically?
Any innovative ideas? 
I know how to spray, it's more the masking up/getting the spoiler to spray it that I'm stumped on for this one...

Take the boot off and mask it up. Its only 4 10mm nuts at the top for the hinges and then the electrics are just one plug behind the passenger side c pillar. You havent got the worry of any over spray on the rest of the car then

either take the bootlid off, or if spraying in situe do what you said but make sure you mask basically the entire car up, overspray gets everywhere.
