Default Anyone paint trunk spoiler black? (on non-black car)

I ordered a trunk spoiler off Ebay and the color didn't quite match my matador red. I was thinking about painting it gloss black.

Has anyone painted their trunk spoiler black, too tacky?

This is the look I'm going for but not sure how it would look on the IS. (Only wheels, roof, grill and maybe spoilers)

That sucks the color didn't match. I just bought an eBay trunk spoiler last week and the color was dead on my SGM, quality looks OEM. Haven't seen a non black car with a black spoiler yet, but maybe you can be the first. Be unique.

I think with the other black accent pieces it would look good.

Funny thing the roof spoiler I ordered with it does match but the seller is willing to work with me. Since I'll have an extra spoiler, I want to play around with things.

I know i've seen a pic before of a member that had a silver 2IS with either a black or CF spoiler.

I don't think it looks too out of place if you have a blacked out roof to go with it.
