Random thought, custom painted rear diffuser

Has any one thought about painting their rear diffuser a custom colour? I am going to start working on some photoshops now but I am just thinking about the possibilities here. It is a small enough part (and low enough) that people could really have some fun here and not "ruin" their car



Honestly I think I could pull of something insane on my asphalt car and really enjoy it. Plus the part is small enough that painting it would be cheap (or doable yourself really)

I think I finally got the images I sketched up to work. So, yeah, thoughts on custom painting these to work as an accent part?

Not colour matched! Painted as an accent colour. Colour matching? That's plain, why blend in when you can stand out. I have seen colour matched. I drew up red and mustard yellow ones.

red would look sick with the raven color.. it would pop out quite nicely

I'd like to see it painted a satin metallic finish, like they do on the Audi S4/S5:


I feel like it would only work with certain colors, though. Like I could see it on CBS, GBS, DGM, and ISM but not WRB, LR, or SWP.

When I originally saw this picture for the diffuser, I thought that's how it was:
