Default Blackout panel paint

Im getting kind of tired of my CDC blackout panel looking like plastic. I was thinking of maybe painting it. What do yall think of either black(maybe spray it myself) or alloy to match the car? Can anyone photoshop it?

Not the best of jobs, but might help. I like the idea of painting it black to match the car since you have the blacked out lights.

I think it will look good painted black. Just dont paint it shiny black because it wont match anything on the rear of your car. I say paint it matte black to match your taillight covers

i think the tail lights will be redone soon. i may take it back to stock, but most likely i will end up buying some professionally tinted lights that are clear coated. would gloss black look good then?

I like it as it and seeing your tails blacked out makes me want to do the same.

i would, but it is stupid expensive to do that. i may just end up putting a gt500 or roush spoiler on it.

Put the gt500 spoiler and leave it as is.

I am planing on painting my rear panel glossy black after I pick up a Roush rear wing. JDM customized the Glidden Outlaw and had the rear panel painted. I think it looks amazing. Much better than my magnetic panel.
