Repairing Ford Rubber Spoilers

I have been fortunate to have picked up a genuine Ford turbotail today. It's been stored for a while, and needs stripping into parts and a couple of repairs made. Does anyone know what's best for repairing these rubber type spoilers? It's got a small chunk missing, and has had a repair in the past. Are there any available fillers that will actually stick, and won't stick out like a sore thumb once it's been refinished nicely in black?

Mine was covered in about five layers of paint and primer.
When I got it it was dark purple, under that was primer, and under that was metallic blue and more primer.
It was cracking and flaking off, but the spoiler itself was intact.
I've been slowly working on it for nearly two years, and I'm only now getting round to repainting it in black plastidip to give it a finish that looks original as I've had to strip all the paint by hand with sand paper so I couldn't save the original finish.
In my experience, there's not much out there that can help.
I've found this thread useful, not a turbo tail but same material.

Cheers folks. It's currently soaking in WD40 as most of the assembly bolts have rotted away. One I get it in pieces and clean I'll have a closer look at repairs.
