Nope impossible, despite perfect prep. the paint would crumble off the minute it was mounted.

Yep...I believe AKRYM has that option as well. A cheaper alternative.

so it must be possible? damn im goin to need some1 with it done to answer this one.. but i guess if AKRYM can do it, the vorsteiner must be able to.. thanks for the help

ooowowizstev · 10-06-2010, 12:23 AM

It is definitely possible..

zgenatt12 · 10-06-2010, 12:35 AM

I think I've seen it done before. If only I can find a picture of it.....

I remember someone on the forums ordering a challenge diffusor in matte black I think... maybe it was the arkym but I'm pretty sure it was challenge. If I find the thread I'll link it.

They don't come matte but you can have your body shop finish it in matte paint or with a matte clear. We did something similar to the carbon bootlid on our 335 by doing a matte clear over the carbon.

My AKRYM came matte black.

Of course you can paint it matte black. Adequate priming will prevent chipping.

Challenge or Vorsteiner, we do sell them matt Black. it is basically a matte black paint job with matte clear coat
