Default To paint or not to painr rear diffuser

Hey all, looking at getting a rear diffuser and thinking about opting out of getting a carbon fibre one. I'm tossing between the J's or the spoon and like I said considering the FPR ones but haven't seen many that are non carbon fibre. What are everyone's suggestions on appearance for them with regard to painting: flat black, glossy black, gun metal, or just unpainted from the factory? If you have photos (good close ups) post them up.

Cheers

I personally wouldn't get a FRP rear diffuser since it would likely take a beating. But if I were to buy a polyurathane version, I would plasti-dip with a dull black for that factory look. Plasti-dip because I can re-do the color as maintenance as it wears. I wouldn't plasti-dip an entire car but the diffuser seems appropriate.

if i get frp i would definitly do what tw00si stated. plus plasti have been coming out with alot of new top coat, aka glossifier, metalizer, and pearlizer. but if i had the choice between frp and cf i would get cf since it woul be less hassle and plug and play. althought it cost more i would consider it as getting a professional paint job for the diffuser would equal the price difference of frp and cf
