Spray Painting Plastic And Retaining The Plastic-Look/colour

[kylieyeah]

Hey guys,

I'm looking at spraying a plastic OEM GTR r34 front diffuser. Although we're trying to figure out which would give a better oem plastic-look. Our options are to spray it with:

- gloss black spray paint

- matte black spray paint

- black plastidip

Thanks!

I went with gloss black and it looks sharp with my white paint..

The car is white too. Although, I've had 2 other people say try matte black.

May ask what you mean by, "sharp"? And did the diffuser end up look like it was painted with the glossiness the cars bodypaint has? I'm looking for more raw plastic appearance

you want Satin black paint

matte is too plain, gloss is too shiny..satin black is 30% gloss so it looks perfect..

Although On my mazda ute I always thought the front bumber was plastic but its actually painted a dark dark charcoal grey colour..that looks like plastic

easiest way to tell the difference from what I have researched.

Matt Black = 0% Gloss

Satin Black = 30% Gloss

Gloss Black well full gloss
