So i bought an OEM front lip and all 4 splash guards a little while back from a fellow member, only problem was they were blue and i have a black G coupe. I figured id have to paint them anyways since they would be scuffed up. So i wet sanded them down , primed them with some rustoleum car promer, then rustoleum gloss black car paint, then some rusteloum gloss clear coat. They turned out looking awsome, only probelm was when i went to put them on in the sun, they would get all hot an then start to melt!?! If you touched it, it would leave your fingerprint in it pretty deep, so i said screw this.
Sanded them all down again. This time i went to kragen and got the black for my car and clear coat, all made by duplicolor, so i figured i couldnt go wrong, this has to dry hard, well its been a week now, turned out looking sweet just like the first time, but every time i put em in the sun for 10 minutes, they get all weird on me, i cant possibly put these on my car because they every stone will leave a mark in them, or get stuck in the clear. Im very confused why this is happening, is it a chemical reaction with the plastic?? Anyways, i really would appreciate any advice, i wanted to get them professionally painted, but the cheapest i found was $400 for all the pieces, a lil steep.

 

Please, please, PLEASE don't put spray painted parts on your G. Do yourself a favor and scrape up the dough for a professional job. C'mon man, you paid 30k for your car, do you really want to spray paint it?

 

I agree w/ not spray painting color matched body parts yourself and getting them done professionally...the ONLY part that i'd probably EVER even ATTEMPT to spray paint on my car would be the rear exhaust valence portion. Only reason i MIGHT even try that would be because it would be a flat black color and wouldnt be much of an eyesore as its not exactly visible, but even thats pushing it...

 

You must be CRAZY painting your car with a can of spray paint,$400 isn't a bad price to paint your kit, I paid $100 to paint my veilside lip. please take your car to a bodyshop and have it done right.
