He wants flat black.Why paint if the plastics are okay? Did he not like the color or wanted something custom?
...most of the black has blue flake to pull it along.Wait til its back together. Blue may be faster than Red, but black is the fastest color. That fact gets overlooked becasue its also invisible to radar.
