So I was wondering since the 98-99 cl come with painted stock side skirts can you just put that on a 97 cl like mine. I was looking for some, but couldn't find stock ones. Is the 94-97 have painted side skirts? Or would it just be the best if i just painted the sides I have now?

 

just paint it urself. shouldnt be that hard. and yeah the 98+ came with painted skirts. 97's didnt!

 

Paint them yourself. Not sure if there's a write-up or not though. Gotta make sure you use the right paint when you paint them though so it stays on for a while.

 

Just paint your sideskirts dude

 

^^^ Just go to a body shop and have them mix you up a spray bomb. Then do the painting basics: Sand, 2 coats primer, 3 coats color, 2-3 coats clear. Just like when you paint the 3.0 wheel caps.

and yeah, the '97s are the only CLs without painted lips and skirts.

 

what's a "spray bomb" cost? and will it be in aerosol spray paint can?

 

okay hopefully i can get my friend hook up to get it a lil cheaper

 

Shit just go to a parts store and get some touch up spray. Duplikote makes foreign paint colors, that's what I did my bumper with

 

don't I need to do a lot of prep before i paint it though so the paint to come off easily

 

depends on how big section you're painting. I could whip out pics.... But yes, you should wetsand and prep the area you're painting before painting. Also should have primer and clear coat if u wanna do it right, like I said if you're just touching up, it isn't as big a deal

 

IMO personally I'd just get it professionally painted, as you won't be able to match the oem look and potential longterm durability of a professionally painted item. You could probably find a place that will do skirts locally for under 200 as well...and after all the time/supplies/effort you put in doing a DIY, it's not bad.

 

I'll just see how much I have after I buy the springs and install them I still need to do it though

 

I got my stock front lip (which doesnt come off the front bumper btw) sides and rear painted by a shop for like $220.

 

^^ wow, you got a DEAL lol

 

I painted my bumper for um... $15

 

yea, but now it doesn't matter cause they're all covered up by a lip kit anyways

 

^Wow, that is a pretty good deal though.
