Don't know for sure, as now they are installed I have no way of checking underside. I seem to remember that the underside was dark grey but did not pay special attention to it. One way would be to go to the dealer and view say a white one and that of another color. If the undersides are the same color it is a good bet that they are painted. I know that there is a dealer in Texas (can't remember the name...but see them referenced here frequently as a good service mail order site with a 1-800 number) that you can call and ask. Hope this helps.

Did you have to "thin" the touch-up paint to get it to flow thru the insulin needle. I ask as we give our dog insulin shots and those needles do not look as though they could handle a liquid with the viscosity of touch up paint. Also how many coats did it take to fill the mini crater? Also, if the chip was on a vertical surface, how did you prevent the paint from running?

I may get the BSM but wait to install them until I get some dings (that way I know where to place the BSM correctly
).

How about those "paint rubs" or paint residue coming from the culprit car? What do you guys recommend using to take them off? I got most of it off but there's still a small dot that doesn't want to come off.
