Painted Splash Guards Follow-Up
This is directed towards those who have painted their splash guards to match their car's color a while back:
Could you tell me how your paint has held up?
And also explain how your splash guards were painted? (i.e. were they prepped before painting by "making the surface less smooth")
Thank you.

Why not just try painting yours and tell us how it holds up after a few mos. Afterall, we are talking about some pretty cheap splash guards - parts that won't make or break anyone's bank acct.
Just from basic painting knowledge, it's best to first completely clean the splashguards, then lightly sand the part you want to paint as paint adheres better to surfaces that are not completely smooth. Be sure to use a good quality primer before applying the paint. Definitely remove the splash guards from the car before you paint them.

Regardless of whether or not this "makes" or "breaks" my bank acct., i'm trying to save myself time from doing this if someone that has actually painted their guards would not recommend doing it. As far as removing the splash guards before i would paint them... um, my IQ just took a hit from even replying to this clown (not to mention a waste of some of my time).
