I am in favor of painting extra body parts, but in this case, we wet sanded it and sprayed some clear coat, and damn, that thing looked brand new.

painting it a candy blue, to match your car, would for sure make it look nice

Seeing as how his car isn't 'candy blue' it wouldn't match.

Why did you pay so much for the Cf duckbill if your wanting to paint it?
Take that **** to a body shop and re clear that mother.

RECLEARCOAT IT. It would prob be cheaper to fix it, then to paint it.
