Front reflector
Getting my front bumper holes fixed and was seeing if anyone else painted them. Or is getting an aftermarket one as a replacement the best option? Thanks

I bought some, painted by IND, but they did not match. The metallic in my Melbourne Red was off and they appeared lighter than the surrounding paint. Looked bad and attracted more attention rather than disappearing into the background. Results may be better with solid colors.

I emailed them and this was their reply: "The reflector will not be 100% match as its a separate part from the bumper. The angle of light will hit it differently showing slight change in color." Based on this response I had no confidence that another try would work out better. .

I just put in my Mineral White ones in tonight. They look a little lighter than the OEM paint in certain lighting. I think their point about them not matching 100% is probably fair for certain colors. I think light colors are tricky and the metallic sprays can probably look different unless the spray angles are identical. Anyway, here's a picture of mine.
