Default PAINT

Do you all think painting my front ABS plastic lip, of course priming it first and all with a spray black glossy plaint would look good?? good spray paint, no cheap stuff...not trying to go to the paint booth just for the lip....or u think it'll mess it up? i've had it for 2 months without paint on the car but i've seen pics of it painted and looks MUCH BETTER LOL

THANKS...

Krylon Fusion without primer will work perfect on plastic.

Ground effects usually look like crap if they are not body-color. On older Hondas it could be pulled off, but on the RSX that has zero black effects, it'll look like a ricey afterthought.

Save the cash and get it done correctly.

you just gotta know people, i painted 2 bumpers, a front lip, and a fron headlight valence for my friends supra for 50$ . he just had to buy the material. which was about 80$.

painting is easy, and dirt in the clear can usually be wet sanded out.

if i owned my own house, my garage would be a paint booth. haha
