Nothing Ghey about Zircon Blue....that aside..dont try to spray your existing lip, because unless you can get the correct etching primer the paint may flake off over time....so i've been told anyway.

What you refer to as skirts I refered to as Sills ICE man.

Mine are still dark hence why I'm considering going for black.

Poohbear - I have a cosmosblue one coming so it'll need to be painted.

Yeah i guess your right there more off a sill than a skirt. I think it does make a big improvment when they are sprayed blue aswell :mrgreen:

I think the finish is called stone chip paint as you can buy it in tins...quite a rubbery substance....an underseal type of product......used on the underside of a lot of cars.....

WELL lol, I had a new sill fitted and it started off perfectly body coloured but he blacked it off to match the other side lol. I would have prefered if he'd coloured the other side.

So as it's freshly painted I think I'll go for gloss black on the splitter.
It goes nice with the shadow chrome wheels and blacked out windows.
