For best paint on a body kit, may I advise you to take it back off the car for painting?

At least trim the thing out before installation, otherwise you're going to have paint in places you never dreamed.

Two tone my ***, any painter worth his salt can match; besides, painted plastic/fiberglass/etc will never match painted metal exactly.
