I checked out the rear spoiler very closely. Yes it is plastic, and truly not thin or cheap. Seems to be quite substantial. And it absolutely looks to be painted. The finish is not perfectly smooth as a plain colored plastic material would. It has a bit of a rippled finish as if it has been spray painted - BTW very well. I put two coats of wax on mine. But like most anything on a car it can be scratched if not treated with care. And - this assembly will get a beating by the elements, UV included. Another reason Toyota has this as a painted surface.

Initially I was thinking about having my spoiler painted body color before I got mine. I did like the G2 version. But after closer inspection of the G3, I like how the black spoiler uniformly blends with the rear hatch windows.

And for jwarrenjg - recommend to bring it into your Toyota body shop for an estimate. Paint match would be a piece of cake being gloss black. Depending on the extent of the damage, may be a simple job for them.
