Side Vents

I've seen side vents on eBay and I asked one of the sellers could I paint them with plasti dip and they replied that they are vinyl stripes ambit is not recommended that they be painted. Does anyone have any ideas on how I could paint them or where I could buy some the color I'm looking for (turquoise).

yes. paint or hydro-dip them. clear coat for durability. local paint shop can help.
here's my carbon fiber hydro-dipped side vents:



plasti-dip will peel... fyi.

I think she would rather me find a way to paint or have a color match the emblems instead of those...

Cutting holes in a plastic bumper that you can remove and put on a bench, is a whole lot different than cutting holes in-place on a vertical surface of a steel fender. Just saying...
