My ‘17 Sonada trunk lid became severely sun damaged / oxidized /faded . I tried to bring it back to life but the paint is too far gone . The Sonata trunk lid is fiberglass / plastic and I am wondering if I can just lightly sand and use the correct color spray (masking off the trunk lid) thin topping with clear coat OR do I need to use a primer first ? Again. It’s just the entire trunk lid (fiberglass /plastic piece) that deteriorated faster than the body paint (which is still in great shape). Thsnks in advance for tips !
Tips for Painting Sonya Trunk Lid ?

Sonya? Sonada? Whatever. Unless this is a beater, any homemade paint job is going to look bad. Take it to bodyshop for a professional job. Shouldn't cost more than $400 or $500.
I would see if a used trunk lid in better shape is available.
Aside from that, yes, it is possible to get a "decent" finish with rattle cans. Probably get better results if you just take the trunk to Maaco.

Spell check fail - I meant Sonata … I can get the exact color match plus primer and clear coat in a small kit for about $60 . I watch Texas Metal and other custom car TV shows painting portions carefully . MAACO or similar will probably be $275 or more just to do a thin , raised trunk lid .
Finish with a 2k clear like spraymax in the can if you don’t have access to spray equipment.
