Painted Lip and Valences

   I bought my car with the stock "i" lip, which was unpainted and black ABS plastic.  I decided to upgrade to the "is" front lip, as it looks more aggressive, and overall looks better in my opinion.  I painted this the stock Lachssilber color.  The paint I used is DuPont automotive acrylic and the clearcoat is Transtar Kwik-finish.  It came out very glossy.

   I did the same with the valences, though it was a little tougher.  I scraped off all of the original undercoating using a spray chemical that deteriorates undercoating.  I then primered the bare metal and painted the stock Lachssilber color as described above.
