Hello,
I have been interested in changing my front spoiler from the rough black to a smooth glossy lime green. Is there a company that specializes in this?

Front spoiler: Change Color

Any painter can. It''s just plastic. Takes lots of sanding, filler, more sanding, did I mention sanding. (Ask me how I know.) But once it's prepped, anyone can paint it.

Why not get it rapped?

When the Slingshot initially came out, there were occasional ads offering the wrap the Slingshot for as low as $800. Paint was even more expensive at the time. IIRC. many of the early wrap jobs didn't hold well. I eventually found a young man who painted my Slingshot for $800. I'd rate the pant job as a 3-5, meaning that from 3 - 5 ft it looks pretty good, but closer than that and mistakes can be seen. I wanted a cheap paint job and got what I paid for. It was affordable and could have turned out worse, though.

3m wrap wont adhere very well to thst specific area because of the texture of the plastic, it simply won’t adhere the same. Any place that offers to wrap that area in vinyl be wary of it. You want smooth area to apply wraps on.

Made a few calls and you're right. surface must be smooth.
take the bite and call some body shops for estimates on paint. Best route

You might also consider https://www.dipyourcar.com/. rabtech originally dipped his Slingshot, but found the dip wore off quickly at contact points where clothing or extremities rubbed against the dip. That area might be a candidate since the only thing likely to rub there would be due to impact with critters/road debris and should be pretty easy to touch up with dip as opposed to paint. The one drawback to dip is it may not be glossy enough and matching a specific paint color may not be that easy. Here's a link to their lime green colors - https://www.dipyourcar.com/pag…type=product&q=lime+green

I would think twice before painting it. That thing takes some serious abuse. Look at one that has some miles on it and you will see how rough it gets. If you paint it / you will get tones of chips in the paint. Just Sayin - there is a reason why it wasn't painted from the factory.

I would highly recommend this :
