Hey Bob, since you painted that piece between the pipes..is it still fine? Someone mentioned avoiding painting that piece since it is close to the pipes, so interested how yours has faired. My paint guy said it would be fine but curious with yours, thank you.
Mine is actually wrapped since I found film that is a perfect match (have used in several place inside as well). It is fine with no bubbling, etc. and it really does not get that hot so you should fine having it painted, which I think looks really good and makes the exhaust tips stand out more. Here is another pic and as you can see I left a little black along the edge but if you painted the entire piece it would still look fine:
For me I had mine painted on my 991.2 and cut vents into it-in the end I didn’t care for the look and had it painted in the oem finish which I like much better. I think it’s up to personal preference and maybe black will show it better. Is yours a 991.1 or 991.2 and does it have the sport exhaust?
Black Plasti dip was the best match and what I ended up using. Tried, flat black and semi gloss paint and didn’t look oem imo. This has the rubbery look and feel to it-just like oem.
nice paint job on the rear defuser. How was it prepped, how is it lasting and how much did you pay for it in So cal? I am also in S0.cal with a techart spoiler in blue.
Have to add my name to the list of folks who do not like the painted rear apron.
My opinion is that the unpainted apron provides a of visual contrast between the painted bumper and the unpainted matte black plastic of the apron, thereby making the paintwork appear more striking, especially if it is a bright color such as Racing Yellow or Miami Blue.
Get what you want but the rear Valance is much cleaner looking, painted.
