Anyone on the forums have a bug deflector painted to match the paint on your truck? If so I'd like to see pictures and maybe cost to paint it.....

If it is plastic, the paint will chip off very easy. Just something to think about. The front end gets all sort of stuff thrown at it....
 






I had a local paint and body shot paint my windjammer and they just said $35. That was after i told them it was a tri-coat. Before the price was$25. So....
 












does anyone know if i can spray the window deflectors? i want some, but i dont want my ride to look like a old people car....
 






they are all made of the same plastic. visors, hood or window, and headlight covers.
 






what would b tha best way 2 paint them to match my white 99?
 






anything above 1000 grit sandpaper or better. get the surface tacky, but dont let any deep gashes get in it or it will show. just plain enamel aerosol worked for me, but i did shoot two of my bug guards and headlight covers with a clear coat and it worked fine also. your choice.
