I've started a new PST as going off thread in the Mina spoiler post!

Im not happy after fitting my RS polyurethane rear spoiler. Fit is great but didn't notice the 8 or 9 small dents/dimples in the top.

It was originally white and I've just had it painted to black. Looking at it full on, you don't see them and it wasn't until I've fitted it that you see them looking from the side.
I've just had a dent guy round and he couldn't sort it so advised taking it back to the paint shop.
ive spoken to the shop and he said probably all like that! How many of you have this??

He said you wouldn't have seen it as originally white and now the black shows it up. I had fibreglass spats painted as well so he said the oven would be turned down (60 degrees??).

Could that have caused it? I've also slackened off the fixing bolts but they aren't anywhere near the upper skin so now sure not that.
All very strange so thoughts please and what's best to do. Skim with flexible filler and repaint? Just a pig to take off again!

Is there a way to uploads a video on here or just through a YouTube link?

[QUOTE=10XKR;1882637]Just Use the "Link" button from the reply menu (looks like a few links of a chain) and paste the Youtube link in the popup window.

It should convert it to Video Window after you post the message.

Hope that helps,

Here is the video link:
look at the reflection in the paintwork of the black stripe distorting when going over the dimples!

Thanks guys, always good to get opinions so make the right decision!

I know he said he cured at a lower temperature but can't remember exactly what temp so could be wrong. I had wing gill vents, spoiler and the fibreglass rear bumper spats all painted so all went in together for curing.
What is done, is done so looks like it needs to go back for sanding and filling with flexible filler. It will annoy me every time I look at it otherwise!
I don't think they are going to admit blame so not only do I have the removal and refitting time, probably going to have to pay as well! 😟

One last question, no one else has these sort of dents/dimples on your spoilers? He wanted me to look at others before discussing again.

Yes I know what you mean Ceejay although it hasn't been out yet in the sun (what little we have had!). They do need pressing down at each side firmly so that the clips locate home but it hard to tell if that would cause such isolated bits but as you guys have said, the material can do all sorts of things. The dent guy actually said most were proud and if if metal, they would need tapping down rather that up which is even stranger.

Im always worried when it comes down to working when fitted on the car. Don't like the thought of tools near the rest of the paintwork and the masking off well enough!

Its has been a long journey so far with this car!!

Good point guys! I didn't think so! Needs to be right doesn't it, nothing else is acceptable.

I rang the shop again today and they want to have a look to see if can be resolved. I tried not to get into a 'blame' argument as just want it sorting so will keep you all posted!
Would be nice to get things right first time eh and sure not alone! Used them a few times before and generally good work so fingers crossed can sort it on the car without removing again?

The 3 torx screws behind the brake light were just hand tight on the end of a screwdriver but the bolts at each end I did do very tight though using a wrench. The screws/bolts don't attach to the upper skin that floats on its own so I can't see that would be an issue? I did try slackening them off and didn't make a difference. The dents are more in the middle and nowhere near the bolts.

Great news... Be sure to post some pics when it’s finished...
