Painting rear diffuser

Is it likely to be affected by the heat from the tailpipes?

Not overly bothered by a carbon one, but quite like to have gloss black and thought painting to be the way to go.
Same with the Matt plastic on the wing badges.

It really depends on how large your exhaust tips are.

I'm thinking to do the same real soon. Do you think wrapping it would be an alternative? Or is that too much heat?

Hello,

mine was painted 5000km ago with standard 2k paint and still no sign of problems with the heat.

When I ceramic coated my car, I also ceramic coated the diffuser. Have it a slight shine and cleans with water.
