Default Bad Paint defect from poor touchup skills

Long story short is I had chipped the paint on my sport spoiler with my watch like the second day I got it. It scraped all the way through. I continually tried to touch up the deep chip/scraped marks and ended up destroying about a 2" x 1" section of paint on the corner of the spoiler. It is extremely noticeable as I would wet sand and take off more paint, then have to touch up a larger area, and so on until I got to this point.

Before paying to have this fixed, or attempting to fix myself with actual spray paint, what are your opinions on a 2" flat black strip along the entire rear edge of the wing and maybe perhaps curling under the lip of the spoiler so you can see the black from behind.

I planned on plasti dipping my rear and front valiance today, and I figured why not give it a shot? I have nothing to lose and it come right off. Just curious what you guys think, and if there are any other z's with that strip painted so I can get a look at it (monterey blue if possible).



Thanks in advance,
Steve
