Air Dam Paint

[hazer396]

I have a White 2007 Tahoe and if you notice the air dam is ugly because its a grayish black which doesn't look good on the white at all..
I was wondering if anyone ever tried painting it.. It does give a better MPG with it on though.. so I rather keep it on...

If you are referring to the valance below the bumper, yes you can paint it.

oh ok on another forum they called it an air dam
but what kind of paint do you recommend?

Check with your local auto body paint shop. It'll require a special primer and flex additive to the paint. They can fill you in.

I had a body shop paint mine, they do have to paint it differently as shark said because of the type of plastic it's made of.

I guess that would go for the mirrors too then huh? I hate having black mirrors. I know you can buy the paintable inserts but I want the whole mirror painted. Anyone have pics of what the whole mirror would look like painted?
