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.
