Front spoiler paint 200

I'm going to remove the front spoiler on my
'87 next week to paint it. The original color is a light blue and I would like to keep it that color, but I'm concerned that the "rattle can" Duplicolor paint will peel off in short order due to the spoiler's flexibility. Is there another rattle can paint I can use that will match the stock color or am I going to have to go for Krylon Fusion satin black?

Your paint will need a flexing agent in it.You could go to a place that mixes automotive paint and they may be able to mix a can for you.There is place not exactly close to me but near enough that supplies automotive paint and if you bring them the paint code they mix it and put it in a spray can for you.And it is a large can like Krylon not like the small dealer cans.Maybe $30 for the original color.

Don't forget to wet sand and prime / wet sand the surface first! No primer, no adhesion.

Do I need a primer with a flex agent in it?

Like Jorrell said wet sand then use a primer sealer.The primer sealer will block/seal out all of the old paint and any body filler you have used to fix the spoiler.
