[QUOTE=Marko2101]Hi Guys,
does any one know how much it is to get an sti spoiler sprayed at a dealer ?
££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££ 's
Why go to a dealer ?
A good local body shop will do it just as well and at a fraction of the cost.

i wouldnt trust any one but a dealer now. had an rs2000 that was sprayed by a non dealer and was never happy(infact it was f-ing crap job.)
had a clio 182 sprayed by a non dealer and the same thing( sold the car under a car porch so the buyer couldnt see how bad it was in the light!!)

I would have thought most dealers would send it out to be sprayed anyway.
Dont ever recall seeing spray booths at any main dealer i have used in the past. Could be wrong though

I hope it is good quality as some cheaper variants are known to be buggers to get a decent paint job onto. Seem to recall somebody posting a similar thread sometime ago where he was quoted 70 quid for a paint job and the painter said he would never touch another spoiler again.
saying that, my first Impreza was a WRX and i had a high level spoiler fitted by a company from Manchester, 400 quid painted and fitted (at my work). Compared to the real thing on my current STI it was much better. The genuine articals bounce up and down like a kid on a trampoline.

will cost a fortune for the bodyshop to get it into shape to paint.........
saving money on the spoiler just means paying more in prep/paint.

I dont know what your budget is, but have you had a look on scoobyworld?
Body Styling :
They are not the cheapest, but the product is good quality and I can say that the paintjob will be spot on because i used them myself about 2 months ago. Its worth saving for!
