How long does the paint last in normal driving conditions before it gets so stone chipped in needs a repaint

 

as apainter i would forget that depends on where you live ifound cars that have done a lot of moter way driving the wose stone chips are but down where i live its alsmost a garentee that youl get stone chips and will look terrible??id stay well away and just go for a carbon one that what iv done???hope this helps

 

problem with painting it is if you catch it on anything it flexes and cracks all the paint

 

dont do it it looks wank

standard or carbon

 

IF YOU GET YOUR FRONT SPOILER PAINTED MAKE SURE & USE COLOURED PRIMER, IT DON'T SHOW UP CHIP'S AS BAD, LACQUER CAN ALSO CHIP ON CARBON SPOILER'S & THEY GO A WHITE DULL FINISH WITH AGE

 

mine has been painted for about the last 3 months and is showing no signs of stonechips... the car gets driven everyday (about 40 miles) and still looks mint !!!

 

I only asked about the spoiler as I want the lower splitter done (same as Cozzymatt) , and thought that the bigger spoiler would chip easier than the lower splitter as its a bigger target-this would give me an idea on timescales-Rsdene, I agree the stone deflector will be staying black

 

The Radman is right on. Mine left the place I bought it pure carbon fiber. WHen it got delivered it was painted. Apparently during shipping they broke it and repaired it..since its CF the only way to make it look ok was to paint it. The paint is holding up ok on it but you hit even the tiniest thing with it and the paint cracks. Looks like shit. Ill be replacing it with a new CF one soon enough...

 

Sorry but cozzymatt's looks Sean For......... sorry forgotten his name had his painted a couple of months ago, maybe worth seeing what his is like?

 

mine was done last august and ive done 2k in the car and no stone chips

if its good enough for the reyland car then its good enough for mine

 

 

You might think that it looks I might think that you look
