VY Custom paint rear diffuser
I decided to have the black rear diffuser painted VY to match the car. However I wanted it to be a little custom/special as well. I was also concerned about the exhaust and road dirt always making it look dirty. So, working with Motorized AutoWorks in Fremont, CA we came up with this:
If you lay on your back and look up at the rear tray there are 4 triangles or wedges that are parallel to the ground. I had those painted flat black then cleared. I also had the center, where the exhaust exits, done in flat black with clear. Here are some more shots:

I think you're right, maybe a little rubbing compound & wax will get it off. It looks very nice. Here's mine painted VY.

I saw it at a distance today and it really looks good from across the parking lot. Bigger difference than I expected. A bunch of friends commented on it before I told them I had anything done.
