Hi,

recently bought a 2025 macan 4. car is oak green neo metallic. I bought the car second hand from a porsche dealer in norway.

i new from before i bought this that alle the matte plastic would anoy me a little. But since the car was equipped with most off the extras i wanted so i bought it:)
my original plan was to do colored PPF on it but that is not duable they say.

so next step will be to paint it. Any one done this before? If, did they dismount everything before painting? Any body have a cost idea?
got price in norway on the job.

i am looking to paint most off the plastic more or less like the turbo.
- front spoiler gloss black
- wheel arches
- side blades car color
- lower part mirror gloss black
- diffusor rear gloss black top and car color lower part.
- side skirts both lower and upper gloss black.

Also will it effect the warranty if i paint the brake calipers?

well, I've posted on how to add/remove the wheel arches. I'm have no doubt you could wrap them easily...Especially the smooth surface of the turbo parts.
Someone else has also posted some pics/write up about the front spoiler in here...
I have not seen anything else about the other parts (side blades, rear diffuser, side skirts)

I foil wrapped front spoiler,rear defuser,side skirts and side blades and also the upper mirror covers as well. However, the side blades must be the ones with the smooth finish and also all the other parts be the ones with the smooth finish from off-road option like mine.Most likely the "standard" parts are indeed not possible to be wrapped as they have a quite "grainy" texture including wheels arches unless you got the Turbo version with the smooth surface.

Sadly, you cannot paint textured plastic. It will not hold. I had to order unpainted side blades, and I ended up wrapping them, although those could’ve been painted because they’re smooth. Also, for the same reason, the rest of the textured plastic cannot be painted. the best you can do besides replacing it is to use blackening product to prevent it from graying out. I also learned that except for the wheel arches the parts on the back and front bumper were not even available in unpainted form at least at the time I tried. See a picture of the product I used on it below. It works very well.

That's a 4S with Off-road package with what appear to be lambo style? custom rims and the orange bits wrapped in well orange.
Missed opportunity not to do orange viper stripes front to back😁
No GTS bits.

Now that's indeed a really brilliant idea!!! It's such a pity I didn't have such a great envision when I was thinking this design for my car!!Next time I should remember to ask for such an advice, definitely!😁
