Just came back from a shop that was supposed to be affordable. The estimate was 350 dollars! Screw that. Anyone got any recommendations / good experience with any shops that painted their sideskirts for a good price? My car ain't perfect so I don't expect my sideskirts to be pristine either.

 

whats your definition of "good price"? In other words, how much are you willing to spend?

 

i think 100-150 is reasonable

 

I have a painter who is really chill and very serious about his work. He has perfect color matching and has done many paint jobs for me.

Best part is that he will come to you. Home or place of business. Lmk if your intrested.

 

$350 is too much... I paid $100 for my RS side skirts several years ago, only it was in Santa Cruz so it's a drive, and it was a while ago. The second time I had side skirts painted (different side skirts) the shop did it for free when they had to replace my door and front fender from an accident, so they said they could do them for free which tells me it doesn't cost them a whole hell of a lot to paint them... Cost of paint plus labor... They are already prepped, no matter what anyone tells you, they WILL NOT chip... I had a few shops tell me that they wouldnt paint my side skirts because of the type of plastic they were made of because the paint would chip off easily, but thats pure BS... They dont even need to add a flex agent like some shops will tell you, the skirts can be painted and dont need to be prepped by any special method, it's very easy.

 

Got mine done for $80 at a place called Prestige Auto Body in San Jose. Its off of Winchester.

 

^^ Thanks, I'll check them out

 

Just got back from there. He wanted 350 a piece insisting that I got a ridiculous quote and that they would flake, which would require lots of prep and primer.

 

bump for this. i need to get my side skirts painted too. anyone who has done them in san jose for a reasonable price (150-200) please let me know where.
