Painting Grille and Diffuser...Suggestions/Tips?
Hey guys, I'm going to be painting my rear diffuser a gloss black and I'm looking for any suggestions or tips on the process. How to remove 14'-15' rear diffuser? Painting techniques? want to make sure the paint adheres to the plastic finish. Same for the front upper and lower grille. I want to paint them a gloss black. Would I need to remove the entire front fascia to remove the grilles? I don't have much experience with painting, other than applying plasti-dip to my wheels a few years ago.

Don't paint them yourself if you don't know what you're doing.

Agreed, don't try painting if you aren't any good! I took my whole interior out the other day, and figured it wouldn't be hard since I am great with plastidip. WRONG. I have to now have everything repainted!

Agreed, don't do it if you don't know how. I actually just took my diffuser off this weekend to get painted. Search on here, it is the same as 10-13 models. Yes you have to take the front bumper cover off to get the grilles out, not hard to do

I would NOT recommend painting it yourself unless you have the proper tools and a booth. I removed mine last winter and gave it to a local body shop and told them they had a couple of months to paint it. So when they painted it he only charged me $50.00 because he had it all winter and did it when he had a matching car color in the booth. It looks great BRM!
