Rear valence poll! Help me out

[pr5owner]

black seems to be the color of choice

Mine was that way stock!

16w ftw!

I think it may make it look taller, but also wider. I still say do it.

And the carbon fiber overlay is so ricey. Carbon fiber should be a replacement, not adding weight. Just paint it yo!

actually yours has gloss so you could technically still paint it flat black.

It's black on my BMW, separate piece. Not painted though, just black plastic...

Thanks for the P5 clarification...

PS, yeah, I posted my tag, my old one, it hangs in the garage now...

seems like everyone wants to do it... fish def do it. if mercedes have black valences so should we.

Scratch- how did you do yours sand ?primer? which paint and clear?

BBQ black paint...no sanding/no primer...I wanted to be able to pressure wash it off if I ever needed to in the future as this is the way I had painted a few pieces on the car in the past...have had no problems though...

^lol there's better paint that BBQ paint (lol) duplicolor actually makes a bumper paint, that's what I used.

I dunno man, I've seen it on white and I'm not sure if I like it.

 

[TWISFM]

Inflames- how long has yours been on with the duplicolor?

 

[InFlames]

only a few months, its holding up great.... I highly suggest sanding it thoroughly then painting.

 

[dxaveP5]

had mine on for a year already.
since last summer when i bought the car.
used Krylon Fusion Paint. Satin Finish.
and its holding up great.

so your telling me that if i use just bbq paint to paint the car i would be able to pressure wash it off? Never heard of this before. sounds like a good idea. Is it true?

 

[Sherzz]

heres my beauty, and a pic of the process

What kind of paint did you use?
