Paint it the same as the body colour.

First i prepared the bodyshell with primer. And paint the contour of the spoiler with chalk before.

The water drain on the spoiler I've closed. I didn't need the antenna hole so i not need to drain them.

Remember no speed limit on german highways.I want to be shure the spoiler will stay on the bodyshell without bore a lot of new holes.
I like the same black like windshield trim, door mirror, hatchback glasses and so on. The very outstanding design of the elford rear spoiler got more intensity with the different colour to the bodyshell.

Thomas the finish on the spoiler looks very good, you are right the colour contrast works.
