does anyone know how much it would cost to get my side skirts and rear skirts painted and how bout all of them..???
anyone from the jersey area have an idea on how much it would cost..???if someone had them done and know a good place and fair price, please let me know.....thanx

 

I was wondering the same thing too...i heard you could paint them, but it requires time and a lot of work. Painting plastic is not easy.

by the way what does
Baba4life mean? LOL

 

BaBa is a nick name......

 

most shops wont paint them cuz they dont want to be responsible for any probs with the paint comming off. if u had a 98+ then they would already be painted. the plastic finish isnt really made to accept paint. i would just do it urself. it will cost you bout $80 in supplies from a pep boys. just sand them down and clean them up. then spray some bulldog adhesive promoter, then the color, sand them with 600 grit paper. do one more color coat, then clear coat it 3-4 times, sand it, and one more clear coat and it should be bady ass smooth. i painted mine along time ago and they held up for 2 yrs no probs through jersey and pa winters.

 

thanx for the info VXCL....

 

i recently went to sherwin williams about this and they were VERY helpful: they can mix the paint to match your car along with a flex agent for the rubber - they have CO2 bottles that they use and two would be enough. no primer needed
price for 1 bottle was like $15-20

 

good to know swclown...good lookin out

 

yea i just got mine done recently, and the shop said it was a pain in the ass to do, but they came out perfect. I guess what they did was sand em down , primer them a few times, and then shoot em. to do both of my sides, my rear, and my WW lip they charged me $325

 

wow!!! thats good i guess..... i dont know how much that cost.....
is 325 a good price?

 

VX HAD HIS CL PAINTED FOR 400!
TRUNK, SIDE SKIRTS AND SHIT

RIGHT VX

 

so i guess 325 is a good price?
didnt VX paint his himself???

 

i had the hood, trunk, wing, both bumpers, and side skirts painted for $400. but its not perfect, way better than when i bought the car in 00 though. im happy. my car takes a beating driving back and for from nj and pa. i am having repaint my frotn bumper though.

 

yeah VX nj ny and pa driving is rough....it will f up your car for sure....

 

WORD

 

TRUE THAT!!!!

 

I had a body shop prep/paint/install my WW lip, paint the splash guards, and paint the front plate bracket all for $125. The splash guards and plate bracket are very plasticy (is that a word) but they came out pretty good... I am just lucky I have a 98 and my sides are already painted!
