Painted front mustache BRZ
 

Once i get my brz i plan to paint the front mustache on it the same color as the car. Ive see one picture a very long time ago, i cant find it now. Has anyone tried this and how does the paint hold up on the plastic?

yes it does you just need to get it primed and then painted then top/clear coat. It's like modeling haha all models are plastic then painted and look nice if done well.. Im not sure if theres a texture on the piece tho? Because if there is it would be hard to get a nice even coat

I was going to pay a cutom pant shop to do it. Wasnt going to take on such a big task. 150-200 well spent in my eyes. Just didnt know if you could paint plastic and have it for a very long time.

was i the only one who thought about this before clicking the thread?

or this

i'm curious as well as to how well the paint will stick on this part. i really like that picture of it painted WRB

Yea it looks way better with matching color. No one has seen a car in person actually do this? just photoshop pics?

They sell magnetic ones so u don't have to pay an arm and a leg for it

the 'moustache' is part of the whole front bumper - it's not a separate part. so, since the rest is painted the colour of the car and is also plastic, there's no reason why painting the moustache would be any different.

I really like this idea, so I decided to try Photoshopping it on the silver BRZ:

Now instead of a moustache it looks like a smile with big dentures on the lighter cars. I love the moustache, I'll stick with that.

same "mustache" problem with the s2 rx8s lol.. Japanese people sure love mustaches

Tell me this doesnt look great. Maybe not on the lighter ones but the blues and maybe reds it looks great
