Hey everyone, tried to do some searching, but couldn't really find an answer to my question.

Is it recommended to paint the PU eBay Vortex Generators or is it ok to leave unpainted?

I want to keep mine black (silver car with black accents), but not sure if the VG will fade over time if left unpainted or if it should be ok as-is and just "bolt" it up.

If it's recommended to be painted, what is the best way to prep and what primer/paint/CC is recommended?

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

 

Ive got one from Bayson R Motorsports who sells on EBAY

Been unpainted for 4 years & seen speeds above 140mph. Garage car though. Keep it waxed at all times

Still looks good

 

Mine was unpainted. And currently faded to h3ll(think of it like a faded bumper drying off after a car wash), I will prob. plasti-dip mine black until I get a new one-they go for like 25-45 bucks(very cheap).

 

Wax on bare plastic?

 

Bump, anyone else?

 

Yes, The VG I got from BaysonR is a non painted gloss black piece. Takes wax just like paint does.
Like I said, my car is garaged 24/7 but has seen the light of day here in the hot & sunny south LOL

Heres a 3 year old pic. You cant go wrong, buy it & install it. Make sure you prep the roof surface before applying

 

The one I bought is just bare black plastic, don't think it's glossy. Or is that what you had also?

 

I just ordered one of these a week ago, Im going to have it color matched though.

 

Well I got my VG from eBay in the mail today, not PU like I thought it was haha. Oh well, it's a harder plastic and looks like it will fit up great. I will be installing this tonight after I am off work. Will post up results after.

 

Plasti dipped mine. Looks good

 

I would stay away from eBay generators, bought mines and it was not an oem fit.

 

 

had mine on for two years fitment was great at the begining but has developed a crack from shrinking on one side also is pretty faded my evo gets garaged for the winter and most nights i would definatly plasti dip it

 

I bought a ebay one, ripped clean off after a week, im using rexpeed now, been on for 7 months! Its hard plastic from ebay had some fitment issues aswell on the driver side it kept popping up.... thats something to consider

 

Put the ebay one on Friday last week, seems like it was a bad mold or something. Fitment was close, but would not sit flat. Had to modify it to make it work. I will be emailing the seller and seeing what can be done.
