Rear diffuser

How easy is it to paint the rear diffuser? Would a body shop charge a lot and also would it have any longevity?

Easiest way is get a spare oem one, around £70 and get a local body shop to do it, mine has stood up well after a year

Cost wise your are looking about £125, a decent body shop with use the correct primer

Did it look alright even with the textured finish?

When I got mine done I didn't like the textured finish so got it flatted back again and redone.
Now its silky smooth with no texture in sight.

Mine was smoothed and painted by the main dealer, they had the cars for two days and it cost £150.

Quite fancy doing mine in 3m Carbon wrap but I think it would be a nightmare to do.
