Right, some gits had a go at me spoiler with a key and scratched some paint of it, so it needs respraying.
Whilst its there im thinking ill get the saxo smoothed into the gsi. I want to do this myself, can anyone give me any tips about materials and methods to do a good job that will last and not crack!

As it is :-



How i want it :-

Its well secured already, its been on for months.
It just seems like a lot to fill to smooth it up nicely.

Has anyone done this before themselves or can write a guide?
