Do you think your spare will be okay for me to paint racing blue?

You can paint it what ever colour you like!

 

It will need stripping right back anyway.

What I meant was. Is the condition of the surround, good enough to be resprayed?

Yes, but you will need to strip the old paint off.

All of the clips are intact and there are no cracks in the surround either.

Can I ask which car you have?

Just want to make sure its the right surround for my car?

To paint it properly so the paint won't chip easily it's best to remove the chrome. Read the best way was to soak it in cheap bleach for a couple of days. Never tried it myself tho

I painted mine with black stone chip paint, and then put a thin coat of lacquer over the top.

 

It hasn't chipped yet, but no doubt it will do at some point.

Mines plasti dipped. 11quid off ebay.

I put about 8 coats on and a month later it still looks good.

Gives a rubber / plastic finish so shouldn't really stonechip.

Mine was a 53 plate Elegance TDI. As far as I know the only differences in the grilles are pre and post face lift. Mine is post facelift.

Ill find out if its compatible. If it is, I'll probably have it.
