Gloss black paint on the plastic parts

[Cat]

Does anyone have a gloss black paint (aftermarket) on the lower plastic parts?
Any idea if it looks good for a white 4S?

Yes, I did it on mine. Got it back yesterday from my painter. No XPF XPS or whatsoever, pure paint. Took 2 week but it's worth it.

Looks gorgeous .

Pictures can be made on weekend if needed

Did they have to sand the parts?

 

[okkotonushi]

Yes. They sanded it before

Some pictures. A little dirty. Sorry for that

So much better!
I think Porsche was in a hurry to launch the Taycan in time.
I mean, c'mon, this looks much more like Porsche quality than that "cheap" plastic stuff.
I'll do mine asap.

I’ve just got my Taycan back from the body shop after a few tweaks to the paintwork:
Gloss black wing mirror mounts and white lower mirror casing.
Colour coded front and rear diffuser and bumper.
Reversed the side skirts from white on black to black on white.

Nice job!

Thank you

are both these options, sanded plastic & paint ?

The tweaks to the original bodywork and bumpers is all prepped and then painted.

Was the paintwork itemised - can you see how much they charged for the mirrors? (Asking as that's an option that can be ticked on new cars....think it's £380 in the UK).

Process involves (in particular for the CT fender covers) initial sanding but also use of a fairly heavy primer followed by further sanding etc and then final paint/clear.

I had my fender covers painted to match body paint and my local shop did an excellent job. Have been considering doing body paint color on remaining plastic but still thinking

Now I'm wondering if painting the plastic around the lights gloss black and the lower trim bits body color might look even better after seeing okkotonushi's results! The std. plastic unpainted is admittedly not as 'obvious' on a volcano grey car but over time might become more so.

Had mirrors painted often and would be under £200.00
