Default Anyone with painted aluminum louvers

How is the paint holding up? Did your body shop add flex additive to the paint? Was there any problems with the paint filling up those tiny gaps inbetween the louvers and later cracking? Just wanna make sure no one has had any problems with thiers befor I get mine done. Thanks!

i'm not sure anyone has painted rear louvers on the boards - no one comes to mind, unfortuantely... but i can say that the astra hammond ones i have come painted black from the manufacturer and they haven't chipped, faded or pealed one bit (though idk if that's helpful).

Worth one more bump. I believe they painted then assembled. I'm worried about painting it assembled and the seperate pieces cracking where they meet.
