Painted (clear) body mouldings

[ozx5]

Hi,

Has any one, painted the body mouldings/bumpers front & rear / extended wheel arches...in a clear gloss from the body repair shop...as to enhance the look and shine of the lower part of the E70 (ie gloss carbon grey) as opposed to dry plastic look grey....??

funny question i know..though

any one - any pics / any experiences...??

thanks

I was also considering this as I have nearly 20km and a couple of marks on my 'plastic bits' I have a silver X5 and I like the black contrast so I dont think I would consider painting them silver but I think the carbon grey could look great and be easier to keep in tip top condition

so has any one out there, painted the black plastic mouldings (bumper etc) in a clear gloss/paint...so it doesnt look as plastic like in appearance..??

Yes, a number of people have with very good looking results. Search on X5world. I don't know about the durability; haven't seen info on that.
