I paid £90 for paint, then fitted it in their unit. Then had to pay £35 for a respray because it was cack.

Best addition there is though, transforms the look of the car completely. 2013 FL2 - Black Edition Auto

I had mine prepped and painted by a friend in the trade and only paid material cost; realistically the cost ought to be around £100. The spoiler has first to be degreased, prepped (abraded), 2/.undercoated in a primer filler, 3/.rubbed smooth,4/. masked off for the fixing holes and LR logo, 5/.glossed up in a water based paint match , 6/. sprayed with the two pack lacquer, 7/. demasked and possibly polished.
there really is quite a lot of work, its not helped by the fact that it has to be sprayed on both sides and all around.
.
Do take your time on working out the finished position of the spoiler and mark with masking tape before sticking as its a 'one hit' glue job; you don't get the option of adjusting it.

I agree with Fred's comments re painting, we have a local paint shop that spray up panels of equipment we sell, the nearest we have had painted size wise was £80, flat colour, not metallic.

As for fitting, masking tape is key.
Place strips on the car and on the tailgate, not where it sticks!, do a dry run and put markers on the tape, I found that by aligning the markets at 90 degrees and then rotating the spoiler into position gently and checking all the while, let it adhere vey gently and check again, if its wrong this is your only chance of taking it off, if your happy apply pressure and believe me it will not come off, 17stone of TAZ wouldn't shift mine, the brackets are a belt n braces measure after the tape.
