Turbo bumper & side skirts paint colors

first world dilemma...

Good tidings, Could the stock dark Front Lip and Side Skirts at any point be painted on a mission to match my vehicle tone? I see that Suncoast sells OEM and "workable" substitutions?

from what I understand, the stock black plastic lip and side skirts due to their matte finish are not effectively paintable, although I believe I've seen some experimentation on other threads...

Color's extremely subjective, but I think the red is an overly harsh contrast to the frozen blue. There's also a risk of an "uncanny valley" effect if you try to match the factory frozen blue with an aftermarket product, where the slightest difference will look very magnified.

So I would stick with black. Your car is beautiful as it is.

The pictures where the parts are painted different colors makes it look like you went to a junk yard to buy used parts from parted out wrecks and installed them on your car.

attempting to approximate the fascia of a short-lived former Huracan, but appreciate the junkyard/photoshop critique nonetheless
