Spraying Splitter

[Scott™]

Good idea or no?

I've just sprayed the grill in gloss and going to do the lower grill and fog light surrounds to make them look better.

Do I do the splitter before it goes on? (Skoda) or is there too much flex in it which is likely to make it flake etc.

It'll look pish Scott. I find the black trim breaks it up a bit.

Sorry mate.

I meant spray it gloss black rather than having o back to black it all the time.

 

[JackJack]

I wouldn't spray it.

Agreed will look terrible. then again I think gloss grills look horrific too. Satin black or nothing IMO

i did mine satin but proceeded to snap it off on the way to wales
looked pretty good for the day it was on

Wouldn't it just chip as it's the lowest point at the front of the car? You'd have to take the slight texture off too.

I'd spray a standard cup splitter, they're pretty solid. But that bobbins rubbery skoda splitter will just leave the paint peeling off in chunks IMO.

Id love to know how it would look terrible?

It would just save back to blacking it all the time.

i was more concerned if it would flex at all.

Wouldn't look bad at all it wouldn't flex unless your car is to low and catches like mine. If your scared of that happening it chipping etc just get some Gtechniq C4 or similar on it. I just use my tyre gel on it every time i clean the car, looks great.

It would be completely fine I'd imagine. As long as you get it into the shape its going to be on the bumper before spraying so you don't bend it too much.
Would chip easily though. I resprayed my carbon splitter because it was fucked and just looked like an original cup splitter.

I remember reading that someone else done it gloss, and after about a week he thought it looked gash and sprayed it satin!
