2010+ painted valance bumper
Has anyone seen a mustang with a painted valance and side skirts on a 2010+ mustang? Personally I don't like the black plastic look and think it would match better if it was painted.
If anyone has pictures please post!

Check my garage. Car has a body kit but you can get the general idea.

this video is of a 5.0 with gt500 rear and front conversion, it appears that the skirts and diffuser are painted
not sure who the owner is but i really love it

I don't know if you want front or rear valence, but I've got them both, and the side skirts, and the grill surround. I'm not a fan of flat black plastic, either.

The only color that matches every time is straight black (metallics and off-shades excluded). Any other color has variation. In a gallon of paint made to a paint code, a 1/4 ounce too much of one component can take on a different look. Expecting paint to match that was sprayed away from the car isn't realistic, but an experienced painter can adjust and tint to get as close as possible if they have the car present. This is why body shops do blend panels when they do a repair; even if only your right front fender was repaired, they may spray the passenger door and hood as well, misting the color away from the new panel, blending it into the previous paint, then clear over the whole panel. The paint may not be exact, but it's a much more gradual change, so it's harder to notice to the untrained eye.
