Question about painting rear diffuser..... - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I would love to paint my rear diffuser. Only problem is that when I took it in I was told they wouldn't paint it due to the fact it would chip very easily on that plastic. So my question is:
Would you guys recommend that I buy a fiber glass one or something similar that the paint will take to much better?

Thanks

It won't chip if done properly.

Dragon is correct. Proper prep and materials will do the job. Chose a quality shop and have them explain how they are going to do it. post it here.
