I have a STI 6 front splitter (currently blue), that I want to colour code to the standard black skirts and rear extensions...anybody know if there is a colour code for those items or if I can get the bumper dipped and the pre-painted finish will match?

V frustrating to have a new bit of kit and not be able to fit it

 

Your car's colour code is located on the id plate which is on the nearside suspension strut. also have a look here

Not actually clear what you're asking as well, do you want to paint your skirts to match the car colour

 

OK...I want to match my splitter to the standard black skirts, not the body colour. I know its easy to find the paint code for body work but I can't seem to find a colour code for the black bits!!

 

If it's an original STi6 front splitter then I think if its stripped it'll be black underneath.
If it's a copy then it'll be creamy white(fibreglass) or grey(grp)

 

Thanks Richie...its def an origional...does that mean it willl be the same 'shade' of black (that sounds like such a dumb question!)?

 

The lip spoiler, if original, would be textured slightly like the side skirts. It will be almost impossible to remove the paint and still have the texture.

However, there is a product called Course Text - not sure of the spelling, that sprays in shades of grey and leaves the original texture.
It's used alot for cars that have a full grey plastic bumper, like an older Escort or Corsa, they get scuffed, then repainted with this stuff.

It's sprayed on with a spray gun, but isn't too thick. So a good spray supplier should be able to put it in a DIY Spray can for you.
If you keep it to light even coats, it will be easy to do.
