just sanded it down - used grey halfords primer (the colour primer for your colour paint will be different) them bought the paint from ford (which was an exact match and the laquer came with it) waited 24hours - sprayed colour - waited 3 hours - sprayed laquer - waited at least 24hours then put it on my car.

What probs you had?

400 grit, then vinylkote it, then plastic filler primer, plastic primer and finally basecoat and lacquers. Use 800 grit wet 'n' dry after the vinylkote and 1200 and then 1500 for the others. Several coats of each and make sure you swab the spoiler before applying the vinylkote.
