Can anyone recommend me a good place to go, or am I better waiting until I've got everything I want done and getting a full respray? I want to replace the spoiler with a rev5 unit anyway and the front spillter has seen better days.

I'm also a little concerned about the colour match of the repair compared to 15+ years old paint![]()

A decent bodyshop should be able to get a good colour match however old the paint is.
If the paints lacquer is beginning to peel its a sign the part has been resprayed before.
Mr2 mk2s weren't clear coated from the factory, although I think the sills have some protection on them

202 black is easy to colour match as its just black, there are no other colours mixed in with it unlike some blacks.
I have sprayed mine and you cannot see any colour diff between the old and new paint
Just stay away from the canned sprays
