Default Paint Underside of T/A Spoiler?

im going to help my friend do a CETA to his red trans am and i came up with an idea (had it before but i never did anything with it). has anyone ever painted the underside of the high rise spoiler? i did a shitty photoshop of it (MS Paint) and i think it looks pretty good.
here is his car now and stock


here is my shitty chop


and this is where i got the idea again

I think it might look cool in like satin black. Not sure about gloss though. Interesting idea either way

i think it would be a great idea.. I did this mod to one of my old cars (97' DSM) and looks pretty sweet. It would definately be different from the rest of the TA's and look clean

Edit: It looks okay on this TA but I still like stock better.

I would do a satin, not gloss black. The gloss will stand out way too much and look out of place. I would also tape off about an inch all around so the black is bordered by red.

I did the opposite on my old T/A, but I did the black sail panel and a black stripe on the hood.
