I'm looking to replace the rear black plastic lower valance on my GT. does anyone know what it would cost to get sprayed? Can it be sprayed as a stand alone part or does it need to be fitted and then sprayed? My car is reflex silver....presumably there is only one type of vw reflex silver, I.e, what's the chance of it not matching the rest of the original bumper?

Sorry for what may seem simple questions, any advice is welcome.

Ok so yes definitely spray off the car, cost wise anything between £100 and £150. It needs high build primer due to the surface not being flat.

As far as in know only one reflex silver but there ate always shade differences so if worries take car to body shop so they can colour match (my red bumper was sprayed and sent to me without seeing the car and very happy with colour)

My Reflex Silver Ed 30 rear end was repaired earlier this year and the bumper was expertly blended into the rear 1/4 panels and side skirts to get the best result.  It looks great.
This same bumper was painted once before but not blended and it didn't match the 1/4 panel at all well.  Could have been wrong shade of paint or different clear coat perhaps? I think the only way to get a good result with Reflex Silver is to blend in.  Good luck!
