Default Chin Spoiler - DIY? [Update with Pictures]

[Updated with pictures on page 2, post #20.]

Hi everyone,

I just got this in for my 2008 V6.

http://www.americanmuscle.com/v6-chin-spoiler-0509.html

Question to those of you have one (or similar): The spoiler comes in unpainted grey; how many of you spray-painted this a flat black yourself to match the side skirts, and if so, what kind of spray paint did you use and how did it come out?

Just wondering if this is something worth even doing at home.

Thanks,
Johnny

Never mind. Found a thread about this. (Just had to search for the right term for the topic to show up.)

Sorry for the clicks. But if you have helpful comments, I'll still appreciate it.

Thanks,
Johnny

My buddy did his and it was very easy since that chin spoiler pretty much comes ready to paint, and the good thing about it is if you get rock chips/ scratches you can just touch it up!

I've even heard of people using that paint on bed liner to give it texture.

Yes, Eddie is correct. You can purchase black automotive spray paint from Advanced Auto's for $7.00. I used 2 cans of the black gloss spray paint and it matches the rockers fairly well. Feel free to look at pictures in my garage.
Good luck!

How many inches is your car dropped?
I am planning on getting the Eibach Pro Kit lowering springs very soon!

Your car would look pretty sexy with a chin spoiler.

The CDC V6 Chin Spoiler is not overly aggressive so would probably work on your car. That is what I run but even so you still have to be careful of where you go and of course stay away from curbs. When mine gets scuffed up I just repaint it with pray can bumper black and it looks fine.
