Has anyone sprayed their splitter? IF so what did you use?

Lol, nope, not even remotely.
 I get where you're coming from, what sort of colour were you thinking of doing it? Body coloured? Or Glass/satin/matt black? I'm not sure i'd bother, for exactly the reason you've given above.

Painted splitters always look shit. They get so many scuffs and chips its best to leave then just as bare plastic. And definitely don't try colour coding it lol.

Tbh, that shouldnt be too much of a problem then, at least if/when you scrape it, it won't show up too much!
And no.....i wont get bored of my angels...they're easily my favourite part of the car!

Stone chip. Can get black and grey, worked pretty well for mine for about 4 months then eventually the roads starting destroying it!!!
Wishes for more power...

A mate of mine and Rowell Moonstone'd his splitter...it looked awful as the paint was coming off all over the place with the scuffs.
 Black wouldn't be so bad, but it'll still show against the grey splitter. Imo, something like bumper gel or back to black would be much better than paint there.

Bumper gel/back to back/tyre paint...all didnt seem to want to work on mine for some reason. The grey stonechip worked well for a while and matched the lower part of my skirts which I did in the same stuff. Scuffed to hell now..but hopefully with my better suspension setup and new splitter it will look better!
Wishes for more power...
