Question Painted Lower Front Lip ?

I was thinking of painting the lower front lip of my RX-8. I do not have the Mazdaspeed bodykit on it, it's just standard factory. Mine is sunlight silver and I would like to paint just the bottom portion not including the middle rotary accent. This I think would make it look a lot better.

Did anybody do this already ?? How does it look ?? Any pics perhaps ??

Also where can I find the color specs for the sunlight silver paint. I was thinking of doing it myself.

Here's the link to the paint codes:

My question is, why don't you just buy the OEM front air dam? I think it's about $200-300 on ebay. That's probably the look you were shooting for. It looks like you don't have the OEM front air dam. I'm guessing you have the black plastic piece?

Yeah i got the black plastic piece. I was looking on e-bay and saw those front air dam... but I was thinking of just painting that plastic black piece and get it over with. Either way thanks for the headsup on the paint codes.
