Shadow line trim ....

Anyone have any insight on a black paint that would match the shadow line trim black? I want to go that route on the trim pieces and grill and rear spoiler and diffuser...if not, most likely will go with a Matte black...please help of possible.

I had mine painted my a body shop. Just told them gloss black like the trim and looks great.

BTW, dont paint your grills. Buy the black performance OEM grills. Paint will chip.

Same for me. A paint shop my dealer works with has painted the window surroundings, roof rails, diffusor and msport bumper inserts. The grill is original bmw performance gloss black. It all looks fantastic.

Any good body shop will be able to color match the paint they use to what you need

Tape the rear spoiler? If you need to paint the spoiler, paint everything else at the same time and save a few bucks.

No, no taping the rear spoiler. Just taping shadow line trim glossy black?

No I don't want to tape the shadow line trim...I want all the other trim pieces to match the shadow line gloss black.
