Got mine done at the shop that put on a new fender/bumper for me. Might as well then because they're gonna have to paint the fender/bumper and to get to the fender, the sideskirts have to be put on. But they did full paint matching/prep/primer/paint on my sideskirts. Trust me, if you do it professionally or do it right, your car will look 100% better.

from what i've seen, there is a strip of weatherstripping you want to stay away from between the door and the sideskirts. also the important part is the rear moulding. i stayed away from painting it so it gave the car an oem painted look and i'm pretty sure that car won't look as good if i had the moulding painted.

Like I said, my car is a perfect example of what not to paint.

If you take the side skirts off of the car and separate the stripping there will be no mistake. It takes 10 minutes to take off the skirts.
