Has someone painted the grey part around the diffuser?

Hello together,

I bought an M850i Coupe from 2019 a couple days ago and I am thinking about painting the dark grey part at the back of the car.

At my previous X5 G05 it was painted with the color of the car and looked much better.

Does someone have painted this part at the BMW 8 series?

I am talking about the marked parts on the attached pictures (of course not the carbon part )

You can look at pics of the B8 to see how it would look.

I am in line to do this or wrap it - next month. Some have wrapped - RNemesisN63 for one and it looks great. Just deciding on what method will look best

Some guy painted it to match here. It's in the random Pic thread for sure. Might also be in one of the threads about changing the tips on a M850i. It looked ok but personally I'd do it black or just get a whole carbon diffuser. His was white.

Thanks.

Yeah I would make it black because the car is also black with carbon package. So the carbon part wood look better.
Now the carbon part loos very similar to the dark grey part and you don't recognize it so good.
