Hi everyone.
I just ordered a 2002 rear valance from Niello Acura. (Great to deal with, by the way)

I was trying to keep the factory color scheme and was curious about the following:

Are the black bits painted flat or glossy or not painted at all?
Where does the color actually go (vs. black)

I tried a search, and found a lot of retrofitted valances, but I am trying to keep as close to the factory look as possible.

Thanks in advance.

The black is a glossy black. As far as where the color is, I'm sure someone has a pic they can post.
 
It looks the same as the Type R shown here (just minus the rear diffuser)

I saw your post and took a shot of my 2002 valance as soon as I got home.
The sun was getting a little low, is the color may be a little cool (degrees K).
The paint finish looks more "satin" than glossy.
Let me know if this is what you are looking for, else I will try whatever you wish. :cool:

The rear valance comes finished in black so paint the rest in your color choice. The black is factory correct.
