Who has the stock side skirts painted? Any problems?
I just went to my local body shop and they said that they would not paint my side skirts for me because they would chip.
Who has their stock side skirts painted? Have you had any problems with chipping?
Also, how much did it cost you to have them painted?
Thanks in advance!

look at my pics. No problems in the winter time as of yet. Got mine painted over a month ago, three layers of paint,and 3 layers of clear coat. It looks fine now, but i do have a little scratch i need to touch up. no biggie
you are not suppose to paint in the winter time unless if you have a warm garage. The paint will react to the weather and either crack, spiderweb, or even change its color. i did it in a warm basement. Also it cost me 45 bucks for all the paint i needed.

thanks IS300, i had a feeling that other people were doing it without problems. As far as winter weather goes; i live in riverside CA, (almost the desert) so it really only gets cold at night, when the car should be in the garage anyway, thanks again!

Have had my side skirts painted since March of 2001 with no problems what so ever.
I'll post a link for you to see, just use a quality body shop with an experienced painter who likes to shoot plactic after one of his helpers has spent a few hours prepping it correctly

well i went down to the local paint shop and picked up a few things. Since i dont have a spray gun, i got it made in an aerosol can. I got the adehisive spray for plastic (not primer), color that matches my car paint (silver), and clear coat. They all come out to like 30 something dollars. Way cheaper than buying a 275dollar side skirt painted from the dealership. good luck

HELP???
For those of you who are painting these yourself....
There's a piece of weather stripping (for lack of a better description) between the actual skirt piece and the actual sheet metal of the car. Presumably to prevent gap issues or rubbing. It looks like black rubber/plastic. Are you guys painting this thin piece as well? or removing it, painting, replacing it, and installing the skirt? Would love some close-up photos... I can't decide what to do... Help.
