To paint...or not to paint...a half size roof spoiler.

Ordered my 4th gen half size roof spoiler from ionic the other day...waiting on delivery, bought some cg2 spray paint (pebble beige) that is. Just not exactly sure if I want to paint it. I have 1 or 2 pics. up of my car on my profile if anyone wants to look to get a better idea, but its a 96' pebble beige, full ionic(only front lip at moment for winter)lip kit proffesionaly painted, oem spoiler, 09' max wheels and no tints but also got rain guards on delivery...im not going to paint the rain guards but im not sure if I should paint the roof spoiler, can I have some feed back please? Thanks-

What color does this unpainted roof spoiler come in?
Wouldn't you want it to match the body of the car?
Please don't put rain guards on any car, they belong on pick-up trucks.

i agree i think it would look sweet painted
if it comes black and your windows are tinted it may be a challenge to see
your luck you can find your color in a can

It comes in this dark transparent black material, acrylic I think. Ive seen them painted to match and just the way it comes, either way looks sick, but im leaning towards painting it. The rain guards are to actually guard rain, lol, since I smoke, they are handy. Plus they look aggressive and stylish. Thanks though.

For anyone interested, Sherwin Williams Automive will take the color code from your car and mix up a can or 2 of spray paint for you. Would come in handy for tjobs like this, as long as the paint hasn't faded too much.
