rear valance stone chip issue

[quinn_656]

just a quick one, the rear valance, thats the back panel from the chrome bumper down is this originally stone chipped / orange peel finish or just left flat?

what are your thoughts on this i know that the sides are stone chipped but right along the back im not sure. If it isn't original what are your thoughts considering the car will be bright red after tomorrow night.

thanks

would be smooth but some people have had it stone chipped to protect it

Ha ha, class! I asked more of less the same question when I was having mine resprayed.

The last time my car was resprayed they covered the whole rear valance including the numberplate area in stonechip. Even though you can argue nobody's really going to notice it, it bugged me knowing it wasn't right. Quin it's your pro project and your car looks lovely, but personally I like this area to be the same as stock, so I'm happy with the way it is on my car now. You can thank Nas for the pic
