Pic Request: Silverstone M3 with painted Arkym lip (or other)

Wasn't able to find a photo of a Silverstone M3 with a body color painted Arkym lip (or other). Debating to paint or re-apply clear coat to the CF.

Thanks for the help!

Re-apply clear coat to the CF much better!!! Don't paint it as your same color, it looks bad

What makes you say that?

Gloss black may look good too, since I have gloss black grills + gills.

I'm facing the same dilemma. I love the crisp clean simplicity of AW and would love to have AW spoiler but then I absolutely love the carbon fibre look. The only solution I could come up with is to wrap it in body colour then rip the wrap off in 6-12 months time if/when you get bored. Hope that helps.

I did find one photo of an AW with painted lip. Not the best photo however.

Also, one in Jerez Black which looks really good. Thinking it tends to look better on darker colors.

I think I'm gonna keep the lip CF and just re-clear coat it.
