Default Re-laquering splitter

Hey, just needed some advice on the best way going about re-laquering my splitter is? Its a carbon fibre one for a Focus RS and has seen better days...and now there are more goodies on the way for Focus, I would like to spruce up the splitter by giving it a fresh look....

So can someone advise whats the best way to re-laquer the splitter?

Thanks for any help

is there any chips/scratches from the road on it? if so these would be worth repairing before coating it, would bring it back up as new

NOthing bad to be honest...something that re-laquering it would hide...its mainly scratches from driving over grass etc and general scrapes from road humps etc...

as said, get any scratches etc taken out first. Then get a professional to spray it in lacquer as it will be a much better and durable finish than rattle cans.
