Has anybody painted their plastic fender arches in something other than body color? Many pics out there of MCS with body color arches. I have a PS/B and it just dawned on me after seeing pics of MINIs with body color arches that I could paint mine black which would match the black already there as I love the contrast but they would look much smoother and cleaner (have used some products such as Mother's Back-to-Black with less than satisfactory results...to me anyway, haven't tried the Zaino Tire Gloss yet).

...just read the thread about the wheel arches as I normally don't read the Exterior forum.
