Painting my skirts

I want to paint the skirts around the bottom of my car. I have a green 97 CL and I don't know if I should just paint them black (they are faded black now) or should I attempt to paint them green? And ideas or pictures of other peoples rides would be helpful.

I also need a stock spoiler with the light. Any ideas on where to get a painted one? Or should I go through acura for the paint match?

Get your skirts painted the same color as your car. I heard of some people trying to get them painted but they get turned away because the shop said the paint won't stick on there right and will chip right away. Anygood paint shop will be able to match the color of your car.

only the 97's came with out painted skirts. And i have no idea where you could order new painted skirts but i am sure it would be more than taking the parts to a shop to get painted.

thats what i was thinking about doing just ordering them, but im sure you'll still have to paint it. Mine are pretty messed up anyways some of the bolt holes are torn and its been scratched pretty bad. Is the 98-99 made out of different plastic or is it just texured different?
