I wouldn't pay, personally. Go get some fairly coarse sandpaper (maybe 200). Sand the bejeezus out of your skirts until it looks like most of the texture is gone. Take some 400 sandpaper and give it another couple passes. Don't worry about making the texture disappear 100%, just pretty good.

Purchase:
- Bulldog Adhesion Promoter
- Plastikote Flexible Bumper & Trim Primer (I use grey for WRB)
- Color-matched paint and clear coat from paintworldinc.com (2 cans of each is plenty and costs ~$50)

Then, find a place that's warm and dry (I run a space heater in my basement or garage). Apply 2 coats of Bulldog Adhesion Promoter about 5 minutes apart. Then, apply the primer in thin coats, about 5 minutes apart. It should take you at least 3 coats to actually cover fully. Then apply 2-3 more coats, each time as thinly and evenly as possible. Let that dry for a good 30 minutes or so. Then use very fine sandpaper (600 or so, wet or dry) and sand the primer. You may expose a little of the black again - that's OK. Once you feel you've got a smooth surface, wipe all the dust off with a damp rag and let dry. Then, apply 1-2 more coats of primer. Let dry for ~30 minutes.

Before I apply color, I use a nylon scuff pad. It's like very fine sandpaper - it takes off any little peaks or dust specs that may be in the primer surface. Give one last wipe with a damp cloth. Apply your color - same procedure, thin coats, about 5 minutes apart. Probably should do 8-10 passes -not "coats"- because each pass is so thin, it's not really a full coat. Let that dry for ~30 minutes. It will look very dull when dry - that's OK. That's why they say the clear coat is "necessary to achieve the proper match". The clear coat will enhance the color as well as bring out the metallic look. Then start applying your clear coats. Thin is never as important as now. Go too thick, and it will drip and/or get milky. Again, probably like 8-10 coats passes. Resist temptation to fill in a spot that doesn't look "as glossy." Wait 5 minutes or so and get it on the next pass.

Remember - this all assumes ideal conditions: warm (at least 70-degrees-ish and virtually no humidity). If you can't achieve these conditions, DON'T PAINT! My experience proves that NOTHING is as important as the conditions. My front grill is flawless while another part I painted did not hold up. Technique is second highest, but wrong conditions can't be made up for with technique. If you follow all of the above, I think you end up with something just as good as a pro job for much less $$. Yes, it takes your time, but I bill myself out to myself very cheaply!
