Colour of EVO VIII/IX hood vents.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knew the exact colour, or the colour code of the black vents that comes with evo VIII and IX. I have a pearl white RA with a EVO IX style hood (got hit and my bumper i had to change my hood) but my vent is also white+****ty paint is comming off, so i was planning to paint it black. Anyone have any idea?

Go to AutoZone get some high temp black spray paint. Take it off the hood, paint it boom your done and cost you $5.

Mine is coming off, also.

That high temp stuff would work, just make it's sure it's satin black.

I think it peals off so easily because the surface wasn't scuffed (at least mine wasn't anyway) before painting.
