But I haven't come across like a plastic one yet only the rubber ones. Surely you can't get them sprayed? Or am I just being stupid?

Buy a cup splitter from Renault for £120quid.
Then go to Halfords and get some rattle cans, plastic primer, your cars paint and lacquer (clear coat).

It's not hard to do, i've just painted my bullets and badges with zero knowledge of what I was doing.

Or a Skoda Fabia splitter for about £12.

I'm not sure the paint would stay on a Skoda splitter very long, they're more like rubber than plastic.

When you came to screw the thing in all the lacquer would crack and fall off
because you have to bend it alot to screw it into place.

That and the fact that it's floppy and bendy to begin with,
just moving the thing after the paint's dry would make it crack and fall off tbh.

Oh dam wasn't looking at spending over £120 on it! Ouch haha. Maybe just a standard fabia one would do the trick. A colour codes one would be better but I have no idea what to do when it comes to spraying and that. That's a bummer

Now you know why the Skoda spitter's so popular, £12 > £120.

Renault take the piss charging that much for a piece of plastic that'll snap the first time a stone hits it.

Tell me about it. If anyone knows where I could possibly get a plastic one either a racing blue one or a sprayable that would be awesome. Want something a bit different.

So how does one go about colour coding the boot button? That looks damn nice and I don't know how I never thought of it.

You have to remove the boot mechanism from the inside.

It's only held on with 3 bolts, then undo hook the metal bar that connects to it,
there's a rubber pipe that goes to it that just pulls off, then you have to hold the button closed to get it out,
otherwise you'll scrape you knuckles and end up swearing in the street.

It's easy tbh, here's mine.

Sounds easy enough. Did you just use any old silver paint rather than the iceberg? And did you do a proper primer and lacquer job as well?
 
I'd personally use the same colour as the car...

You will need to sand/flatten, primer and lacquer like any other spray job.

I used a rattle cans of plastic primer, Iceburg Silver and lacquer I bought from Halfords,
although if I was to do it again i'd buy a better lacquer, the Halfords stuff is sh*t and gave me a headache for 2 days,
​despite using it outside.

You're not supposed to drink it mate...even on a park bench its still not safe (Well...probably safer than the MD 20/20 I used to drink as a teenager!)
