Default Trunk spoiler paint

Hey guys

I was planning on picking up a trunk spoiler for my NGP 3is. I plan on doing a two tone effect where the spoiler is black to go with the blacked out emblems. My question is, should i buy the spoiler unpainted and plastidip it or buy the spoiler prepainted gloss black, or just get the spoiler repainted NGP.

thanks everyone!

I think black would look great with your nebula gray pearl and black emblems.
I would say the gloss black pre-painted would be my 1st choice and the color matched option 2nd, but definitely would advise from plastidipping the whole spoiler.

The rear area of the trunk sees a good amount of contact with both your hands from closing the trunk and off of rain and other buildup. While a good dip job would probably last awhile, it would probably not look as great as a more permanent gloss black paint.

Just my 2 cents of course.
