Default Advice needed folks

The nice folks at Scooby World have supplied another rear spoiler to me. I can paint it but cant laquer it so what do i do? Im going to paint the side pieces again but how about something along these lines.

Should i stick with the Sti logo or something different?

I'd stick with the STi logo to keep it consistent with the scoop. Should look superb

Good point there Si... you don't want to look like a Honda !!
Short of any of the Rally one's then yes I would go for STI myself.

That looks absolutely disgusting! Of course, so you can at least reap some recompense I will be willing to buy it from you for an undisclosed sum

Must say, probably again actually, I feel rather cheated having seen the STi logos following the application of my team usa ones....

Question is.. do I spend another stock of greenbacks to swap them out?

Yep you can my bonnet and mirrors were all laquered as was the spoiler but the "Professionals" that inspected it said laquer had reacted to the spoiler so it was my Paintsprayers fault not a Manufacturing one. Anyway im not getting into another argument over it suffice to say i can paint it but not laquer it.
