You're right, the one's you've seen are painted. If you have access to a HVLP gun and some quality paint, you could do it yourself. If not, have a friend/relative/body shop do it. Spray paint won't last, so count that one out.

can't be much, it's just a bezel, but for you exodus, get it done when you get my spoiler painted that i sold you. It is coming off the car this weekend.

I was going to get that done after getting your spoiler. Probably in december or so, I'll be getting new rims/tires, so I figure the new spoiler, different bezel, etc will really bring it out good. Why haven't you responded to my e-mails or anything? I paid you and you disappeared on me, LOL. As long as I know you haven't skipped the country, lol.

The problem is if you don't exactly know how to spray paint right, you can make it blotch, run, drip, etc. Make it thicker in some spots, and the clear coat isn't all that great. Should just be done by someone who knows what their doing.

lol man, u sent me one e-mail, and one message on AIM which was either really late or really early in the mornin in which i was sleepin, u got off AIM so i couldn't message you back and haven't had time to e-mail you. Now that the weekend is here, well it should be coming off this weekend and packaged. Dont worry i dont screw ppl, i've got it done to me enough.

Back to topic, i would not spray paint it, use automotive paint with a HVLP gun. Or just take it to a shop, prolly be $50 if you bought paint already. It looks really good IMO, and i like it alot.
