I want to paint my sideskirts the same color as my car. Currently they are black plastic. But i dont know where i can get the right color. Anyone know? How much would it cost for the paint and the paint job?

you can bujy color matched spray paint at autozone hopefully they have your color. take the skirts off give them a few coats of paint and then clear coat them. it is like 5 bux for a can of paint and then 5 for clear coat.

i think the link is colorrite.com or something similar. You can order factory matched paint in spray cans or pints. If that isn't the link do a search on yahoo and if you still can't find it, email me and ill find it for you when I get home.

You could also get (color matched) paint at a local auto shop/ hardware store...

I painted my trim this weekend to match my undercoat. I whent to Headalls Auto parts and the matched me 2 cans of paint. One was enough. It is actuall Auto paint in a spray cant. Its about 12.50 bucks a can, and it matches perfectly. So call anybody shop, or autparts stor that has a paint department and they can quote you a price.

If you get it color matched, make sure you get MORE than you are going to need. I used to work at Lowe's in the paint dept and if you run out and try and get it color matched again, IT WILL NEVER BE THE SAME EXACT MATCH!!!!
TRUST ME ON THIS.....

Just wanted you guys to know. Believe me, I've had plenty of pissed off customers come in and be like, "Well, I just got some of this color last week, how come it isn't the same?" Or "I painted my walls the same color but they are 2 different shades"
ALWAYS GET MORE THAN YOU NEED.....SPEND THE EXTRA CASH AND SAVE THE HASSLE!!!
