was gonig do it in a dark grey

 

[fUbAr]

why would you want to do that?

its a flexible plastic, so any paint is likely to flake off.

 

[mickstoke]

so it would be easy to clean. tidy it up

I think I've seen one sprayed black on a black non sport, looked good
afaik, check out 'S Garbett's 1.6 thread, there's a picture on there.

A mate of a mate (no pics, sorry) did EVERY bit of black plastic on his 172 in gloss black.

Looked absolutely amazing!

Gonna do it to mine on the integra I think, just in mat black, will freshen it up and make it a bit easier to keep tidy.

No different to painting bumper inserts and door strips its even the same plastic IIRC.
