I got the valence from the group purchase on here awhile back. It's great quality, better than the SLP I think. I'll have pictures of mine on my car soon, it's getting painted and such as I type.
They use regular paint on it but it must be treated with a flex additive

I got two of the first batch since I provided my original slp valance for the manufacturer to work with. They fit great. They aren't difficult to install at all. I did mine in about 5 minutes after I claybarred and applied the tape to the valance. I could always install it if u want to take the 2 hour drive.

i had mine painted first then i installed in it about 40*F weather and I had no problems except the tape wouldnt stick that well so i broke out the heat gun to warm things up and it all worked out just fine as you can see from the pics i posted in the other thread

I'd just do a quick mock up and make sure that the valance lines up correctly before you have it painted. It's just like having a bumper painted, it needs to have some flex additive in the paint so that you don't get spider cracks.

You shouldn't have to if the shop/person that's painting it knows what they're doing.

how much does it generally cost to get the valance painted? im looking at buying this setup and its looking like its going to go for around $750(unpainted valence, polished ovals and the 90s) is that too much? its brand new

Mine is an SLP Valance.. But i am sure 6litre's is pretty close. Like the others, i too mine to the dealership, had them prep/paint it, install it. Cost me around $150.00 if memory serves me. Getting ready to have it "Blended" to the rear bumper and repainted once the weather clears up. Good luck.
