They can but the difference is that the Narvik black gloss on the X-Dynamic is smooth and the matte finish that you would be painting is textured. The look, upkeep, and wear would be different.

The easier option would be to just order replacement gloss panels. They aren't really that outrageous.

 

Hadn't thought of that! Will look into sourcing those parts. Thank you!

This might help.

Thanks for all the responses. The replacement panels might be the best option but then that leaves the bumpers needing paint. The dealer had a P300 with the gloss black panels. I was pleasantly surprised how good it looked. They said they did it frequently with good results. Guess I’ll make that call when I see it person. Hopefully sometime this year 😂

 

I bought some of the smaller mud flaps to go on my X-Dynamic and I've had a hell of a time finding a paint shop willing to spray them to match the Narvik gloss.

You mind telling me the name of your dealer so I can possibly ship my flaps out so the can paint them?

 

I was quoted $700 to paint the front and rear bumpers from a LR dealer in central Florida

 

Its a flexible plastic mud flap - why would you try and paint them gloss black? This will crack and peel off the minute they flex. Take a look at other builds - they are not meant to match the finish of the gloss black. It's a raw rubber finish.

As for painting the lower panels and arches gloss black - I dont think it can be done without risk of cracking/peeling - I have been asking this for the last year and finally got my dealership to sell me the gloss black lower panels and wheel arches, to replace my matte plastic (SE spec) ones. $650 for front and rear bumpers (each) to spray gloss black. They will then need PPF to prevent chipping - so overall its an expensive process.

 

It’s not an easy process to get the bumpers properly painted. Mine are getting painted Narvik Black right now and my body shop guy sent me these pics. Also included is the lower body armor piece below the front bumper. I decided to paint that gloss black as well.

 

Looks great! Send pics when it's all been put back together.

 

​​​Small flaps are neither raw rubber nor are they flexible. They're thermoplastic olefin (TPO) and they can indeed be painted without cracking or peeling.

As to the "why?" well, next to the gloss, they look like they came from AliExpress.

Stop trying to red arrow up there. It's not real. Nothing is.
