Similar to what has been done by @TAYC4N - got mine back this morning.

Fantastic job done again by Auto Forensics.

Front spiltter, front intakes, side skirts and rear bumper all sprayed gloss black and then the whole car fully protected with Claritycoat PPS and topped off with Labo Cosmetica ceramic coating.

Can't recommended highly enough.

How come the airvents in the front bumper are also gloss black? What did you do to those?

How did you put the gloss over the textured finish? Did you consider smoothing the surface out?
Overall looks great.

It doesn’t look black. Is it clear over the factory color (which is a dark charcoal)?

It’s all gloss black and smooth. Using Claritycoat PPS you can choose any colour. In my case all matte parts were sanded down, primed, painted, PPS Claritycoat applied and finally ceramic coated.

Wow! That color and wheel type were my second choice after white - seeing this makes me think it might be #1. Really sharp, and very discreet as well.

Thanks for all the comments. Needless to say I’m very happy with the result. Always very difficult to spec a car when you have never seen it - but always had it in mind to either colour code or gloss black the matte plastic parts as it just finishes the car properly. The PPS and ceramic protection is the icing on the cake!

It’s beyond me why didn’t Porsche do it from the start, who thinks this matte plastic looks elegant and nice...

Can I ask please.
Your text above infers that the plastic parts were painted before the Claritycoat was applied but I thought that the Claritycoat is applied in either clear or whatever colour you want to make the colour change in order for it to be reversible?
So basically I thought that the plastic bits did not require painting before the Claritycoat is applied.
