Paint code for Mazdaspeed rear valence/difusser
In a few days, I will be painting and installing a replica Mazdaspeed bodykit. The kit does not come painted so I would have to pay to get it painted and fitted. My only concern is that the body shop does not know the paint code for the rear valence/difusser which is dark grayish color. I am sure all of you have see what this looks like but will post pictures when I get home. I tried calling Mazda of North America and they said they spoke to the Mazdaspeed bodykit specialist and they only have one color listed under the accessories and it is the body color of the car. This is bullshit because everyone knows the Mazdaspeed bodykit is 2 toned. So if anyone knows the paint code for this gray part or where I can find out please let me know. Thanks in advance.

If that grey is anything like the stock bumper, it's just going to be a plastic, which may not need to be painted. I know the aero mud guard part will need to be painted, but the plastic rear piece may not need to be. ???
I'd like to know this too, as I'm waiting for an MS-style kit to arrive any day now. If it does indeed require painting, I may just paint it the body color. <shrug> I think that may look better.
When I get my kit I'll let you know if MY MSstyle rear bumper requires the grey part to be painted.

Sorry I don't know the paint code, but it's mentioned as "Gun Metal Metallic " in the description on Trussville's site. Hope that helps some. Take a good color pic in and have them try to match it.

Here's a closeup picture of my rear bumper showing the grey part.

Nevermind guys, I am going to cancel my order on the kit. I am planning to buy the authentic mazdaspeed kit. The replica is just too much trouble. Besides, the body shop quoted me a little more than I expected because they said fiberglass is hard to fit in.
