Okay wow, i just spent 30minutes writing out the steps to get a "server busy." okay.. here we go again.

here's the pics of the paint products i used.



1st can: here's a simple cleaner to really clean the side skirts before painting.

2nd can: adhesive promotor, help paint stick to the plastic. good stuff for painting the polurethane side skirts.

3rd can: Primer, now i used white primer since i am painting taffeta white, Get the right primer color from any paint store to match your paint.

4th can: your paint, i had a paint shop mix me a spray can to match my car (taffeta white). you need 2x, $10 bucks a can.

5th: clear coat, if you get a crappy clear coat. your car will look crappy, non-glossy.

before we get the steps here's a few tips: Remember, light coats of paint is better then 1 thick coat. Allow the the paint dry inbetween coats. Try to paint inside or the least dusty place possible so dirt whatever floats in the air doesn't get on your ss when your painting.

1. remove side skirts.
2. sand with 600-800 grit sand paper.
3. spray 1st can, to clean the surface...
4. Spray 2-3 coats with the adehesvie promotor.
5. hit it with the primer 3-4 coats. allow time to dry.
6. after dry, wet sand with 2000 grit sand paper.
7. now hit it with the paint, do 5-6 coats of the car paint.
8. hit it with 3-4 clear coats and vola!

hope i didn't miss anything, sucked having to type it again, good luck.
