I say bring to your shop and have it sprayed to match the rockers and other black trim.

No, I did not paint my side rockers. The black auto gloss paint is very close to the look of the side rockers. The auto spray paint is like $7 a can. I purchased 2 cans and it came out decent looking. There are many people that spray painted their chin spoilers and they came out good. It's up to you.

For that kind of money go get a couple of cans and try it. If you don't like it, not out much. I agree with others that if your rockers were white then do it white but since they are black I would also go black.
