Does the lip need paint?

[goliath]

The side and rear skirts are going to be resprayed next week. I'm thinking the lip needs done also.:dunno:

What do you think?

 

[OneJoeZee]

Since you did sides and rears, my answer is yes.

If you hadn't done sides and rears, I would say leave it black.

 

[Mr.PFloyd]

im with joe, it needs the white paint.

 

[ERA]

Yeah paint it, sort of levels it off.

 

[ForcedTorque]

I say leave it black, and paint the body moldings to match. As it is, the whites don't match well, and I personally don't like them. The car looks great tho like it is.

 

[The Dude]

Definitely paint it. From the pic you can hardly tell there's anything there making it look incomplete. Even if you just had the lip I'd have it painted. It's still part of the body. To me it's the same thing as your fender or bumper being a different color.

 

[DonS1mpson]

Joe is right yet again. Paint it

 

[LilMissMkIII]

Paint it.

Paint it as it looks "off" against the rest of the painted body parts.
An unpainted lip is like an unshaven beav.... people put up with it but they prefer it done. Unless the car is black....but that still doesnt apply to the beav.

I agree, though I'd say you should go back to stock sides and rear fenders and leave it unpainted. :icon_razz

Looks to me like the whole car could use a new coat of paint, lots of bits that don't seem to match.

 

[SupraOfDoom]

Yes it does.

I pretty much agree with that.
Unless the paint is in perfect condition with absolutely zero fading over time, you should spray at least some of the body panels to blend. Otherwise there will be a noticeable difference from the skirts to the body. Its one of those things you will wish you did after the fact.

Paint it, it looks nicer that way.

Does the lip have any nicks or scrapes? Because if it painted it might show up the nicks and scrapes on the lip. In my opinon i wouldnt paint it.

I would hope there is pre-paint prep done before anything gets sprayed.

not sure what it is with some of you guys and unpainted body part add on's :dunno:

IF it was carbon fiber I could see why you would want to leave it, because it looks cool.

In my opinion unpainted body part add on's are ghetto and ricerish.

So yeah paint it
