Default Poo brown EK4

Hello H-T members. Here's the story, I bought a (genuine) Spoon duckbill for my EK hatch but the clear coat was all messed up. So I sanded it down and dropped it at the local paint shop together with my EK9 rear lip. I told them to paint the rear lip and put a new clear coat on the wing. A week later I picked up both these bad boys and this is what I got:



They accidently painted the wing as well. I really don't know what to think of it.
Don't mind the rear lip, I still have some screws to put in it.

So, any of you have a painted Spoon wing like me? Do you think it looks better like this?

It doesn't look horrible, I would keep it for a while. It's already is painted, if you don't like it then get it stripped and recleared.

Yeah, friend of mine said to rock it like this for a while and then have it stripped again.

I already have a carbon hood and I might buy some Spoon mirrors soon + I have a black rear diffuser. So enough black for now I think

Thanks for the comments!

I already have a painted hood sitting in the garage, thought the carbon hood would break up all that poo'ish brown a bit.



This is how it looked with the painted hood. It looked really... brown

Like them both painted and unpainted, but on my car I think they look better painted.
CF moldings would look nice to, I haven't seen that before.

Take the moldings off. Sand them down and put some back to black on there or use duplicolors trim pain. The Spoon spoiler looks good color matched. Thank god the "carbon everything y0" craze is gone
