Anybody paint the black plastic portions of the a-spec kit?
I recently recieved my Type-S A-spec kit from the recent group buy. Unfortunately one of the clips on the rear lip was broken during shipping and there are two chips in the paint, one near each exhaust cutout, about the circumference of a pen. The chips are near the underside of the lip so I don't think they'll be noticeable when installed but I have to look at it again.
Anyway, while I was looking over the pieces I was noticing the dull black plastic portions of the front and rear lips (area near the fogs on the front and exhaust cutouts & center portion on the rear). I'm still not sure how I'm going to handle the chips but I wanted to know if anybody has painted those black plastic portions of the kit. I was thinking that painting them to match the metallic grey color around the inner grille might look good.
Anybody done this (any color)? Pics?

Thanks ggesq. I'm already in talks with Tim. Just have to get him some pics and we'll go from there. He is good to work with.
Just for clarification, I did not mean for my post to in any way be negative towards Hondacuraworld, I've dealt with them before this and will again I'm sure. The damage with my kit looked to be a shipping/pakaging issue, the quality of the parts themselves is top notch.

When I got my kit it was a DISASTER. The box was all ripped on the sides and everything, but it didn't seem to lose anything or damamged so I took it. Fedex told me to call them if any problems arises, but I installed the side and front kit and it seems flawless. Hopefully the back is also when I install it this weekend!

Good to know Champ. Glad that yours wasn't damaged. The good thing is that I have some other installs planned before putting the kit on so I'm not in a huge rush which gives me time to get things resolved.
Anyway, to get things back on the main focus of this thread, has anybody painted the black plastic portions of the kit? Actually, I'm not sure if the base kit even has these areas.
