Well. I was gonna take it to a shop, because i was scared that cuz of all the texturing in the lips/skirts, that it would come out shitty if i did it. But i'm thinking with a bunch of sanding, it might not come out too bad. check this out.

what do ya think?

 

try it if you f*ck up strip, and prep again.then take to a shop cuz maybe you can save a couple bucks... if you do go right to the shop take them off yourself you should save alittle $$$

 

i say you get it done, our lips paint needs a flex agent added, because its plastic or whatever, in the heat the plastic expands a little, and so the paint needs to expand.. that is why some shops charge a little more $ to do this, the prep is a bitch because they are so smooth

 

def do it, i have primrose too, and ive been wanting to get mine painted, so maybe if it comes out good, ill paint mine

 

the guy in that h-t thread i posted said go to a local auto finish store, they should have your color code in a can. think they'll have primrose? i dont think honda used it on any other car, so it might be harder to find...

 

they will, if not you can get a shop to get it..

 

im pretty sure they'll mix it right up for you. and i think you should go for it

 

I've found my stock honda color in a can at like 4 different parts stores, they'll have it. I painted my bumper with the color matched cans

 

my experience is that the color will be off no matter what. unless the person uses a machine to color match ur current color on the body then the color will no match correctly.

still, i say that u go for it anyways. it wont look bad cuz they are the skirts and they are at the bottom.

 

ps. silver is the HARDEST color to match. black, white, red are the easiest. i got pimprose too so i kno...

 

i just painted my side skirts, and ww lip at school for FREE...
i have primrose too...i used the PPG paint system, and it looks close enough...

but you do need a flex agent in the paint or else it will start to peel off...
prime your side skirts, then sand it with p400 grit sand paper, clean, paint, then clear it

 

would I be able to buy a can of flex agent and then mix it with the paint, or do i have to buy it premixed with flex agent? thanks

 

really? I thought black is the hardest bc of Ive looked at different kinds of blk paint on cars and some of them have blue,green, red etc little glitter in them...I guess you cant tell from far away, but when you inspect it closely...you tell the difference..just my opinoin....I noticed when I looked at my ex's 2004 blk civic...

 

in the sun of course...

 

see if you can get it premixed...you would be surprised to see how much flex agent is needed... its like only a capfull...
