painted AMG diffuser?

I was thinking about painting my AMG diffuser but I haven't seen anyone else do it yet, any one have any pics of it being done? Does is look good? My cars black and I want to do it the same color. It'd be professionally done to match the paint...any advise people?

I did mine theres pics on the forum. I eventually changed to a CF big fin but I will eventually paint that too to match. On a black car it looks good, I like color match on all colors really except white

Yea I wanted a big fin too but I got this diffuser for a great price so I couldn't say no, I was thinking of using fiberglass moiling to make the fins bigger but im not 100% sure about that yet haha
