Working on it boys, I gotta change the oil on the X and wanted my garage to be warm enough for the 3M tape to stick on the install. Its friggin freezing out and I hate installing body parts in the cold when the plastic is cold etc, will update soon!
And don't hate on the workbench, its my OCD! The shop said that it wasn't the easiest thing to paint compared to an OEM piece because of the home brew mold, and there is a ton of mold release agent on the plastic. They hit it very heavy with the clear coat, because some of the plastic piece's imperfections showed up through the basecoat, but honestly it looks 99% perfect to me considering where it is located on the car. I'm sorry to say I don't think they want to paint another one of these anytime soon, only cost me $100 though since I know the owner pretty well from past work on the wifes car...

I sprayed mine this afternoon using my Harbor Freight HVLP gun and Titan Silver 354 from O'Reilly. The paint they mixed had the clear added and only cost $9 for a 1/2 pint. I did have to add reducer @ 8-2 ratio. I'll install tomorrow when the paint fully cures.

Finish looks textured. Is that your intention?

No its not textured rather its a grainy effect of the photo when I had to resized it. The finish is quite smooth.

Junger, I'd probably wait too.
Having said that, I was walking back to my semi-washed x5 in the snow last night and the look of the skid plate made me smile as it looked so shiny
