   I was wondering how hard it is to colour code the black strips? Ive been thinking of this for a while and not sure whether or not to attempt it?! Any help much appreciated!

   bodyshop for me ...
   
   if you take it to a body shop that:-
   
   you give the bumpstrips a good wash to remove grease,
   they remove the full kit from your car,
   primer and respray ALL the panels not just the black bit as it will peel eventually,
   ask them that all the ridges in the black will be not visable, (just needs a few coats of primer)
   
   i had mine done bout 18 months ago and had no probs what so ever ...

   I had all my strips done and m3 mirrors, backing plates and a MK1 VTS spoiler sprayed and fitted for £290 inc. VAT... Tried doin it myself with cans first but never got a good edge or perfect finish

   Get it done at a bodyshop mate. Worse to do it yourself and it look naff naff!!! Paid 340 for mine and had everything done! Money well spent!
