What colour should I paint (Blank under clear indicator)?
I'm after some opinions of what I should do with the orange blank under the front indicator when I replace with a clear unit.
What colour should I paint it? (Black or White)
Got any pics you can post of this done already?
My car
Thanks

Halfords can do you a tin of your own colour
Incidentally - the wedges are actually black, apparently if you leave them in thinners overnight all the orange will have come off.

Left mine in thinners overnight and with a nail brush rubbed off the orange paint. Bare in mind you will probably have to recoat them if colour coding due to stone chips, i just left mine black and tbh cant tell the difference with mine being a dark colour.
On yours tho I would colour code.

Personnally wouldn't recommend using thinners or such like! Found that the time needed to make the paint thin enough to scrap off made the plastic part a little more flexible than originally intended - I also wasn't happy with the finish it left!
Not bothered as I thought this may happen but wanted to give it a go anyway, trial and error, so I'm now looking for a couple of cheap black wedges to replace!

i colour coded mine, word of warning though halfords are crap at matching 64c Green mica, (it wasnt even metallic!!!!) in the end i got a spray made up from the subaru dealers & it was a perfect match for about the same prce as the halfords crap!
