hey,

i was wonderin if anyone has painted their wheelarches glossy black and their sideskirts body color WITHOUT having the aero kit?? anyone got any info on this i would be very appreciative... thank you.

or...

has anyone painted original side skirts body color and left wheelarches black plastic??

thanks for your help.... please respond

 

Hey LB,

I spent a good part of this past Saturday visiting various body shops in my neighborhood ...to get as much info as I can re: your exact question.

I have a PS w/ Blk MCS & I intend to paint to following in glossy black.....
-wheel arches
-side skirts
-front grill (upper & lower pieces that are currently painted PS...now to be painted glossy black)
lastly......
-the round ring that borders the MCS scoop... I intend to paint that glossy black....

Here's all I know about the process...@ this point

-the plastic must be sanded correctly
-then primed correctly
-then painted with a paint mixture that will have some "give", due to the plastic surface it will be applied to..
-most body shops want to remove all parts...b4 painting

As soon as i get some additional info...I'll start posting.

Peace,
D.
