Refinishing Wing?
The trunk wing on my pearl is in really bad shape. Of course paint chipping on these is common, but it looks like it's actually pitted pretty deeply into the wing in the spots where the paint is gone. Someone has attempted to touch the paint up- probably with a brush. Wondering if I should try to fill in the pits with some kind of filler, or just try and sand it down smooth. Has anyone used filler? If so, what's been successful. Obviously I'd remove the sloppy touch-up paint first.

Re: Refinishing Wing?
Considering the spoiler is all fiberglass anyway to start, just sand off as much as you can of the existing paint, get into the chips to clean out all of the old paint and any parts that are chipping. Then fill in the chips with bondo or other filler and sand it all smooth, then paint and clear and it should be good to go.
