Use masking or painters tape to mark your holes and p[rotect the exisiting paint. I might consider pre-punching (center punching) the holes to avoid bit "walking." Use primer and touchup paint to protect the freshly drilled holes. Let it dry completely before installing the spoiler.
I'm guessing the spoiler comes with a template? If not, be very careful. You only get one shot at it.
As they say in the wood business, measure twice, cut once.
