When I had my car at honda getting put back together after it was stolen, I asked the guy about painting the stock sideskirts and he said thay it wouldn't stick to the material right and would flake off really easy. Has anyone heard of this and is there a sideskirt that looks stock that can be painted? BTW this is a 1999 2door Civic EX.Thanks.

 

i disagree.. ive seen numerous ones with painted sideskirts... but i dont know shit about paint..

 

i painted my stock ones and after market........its doable as long as you sand it good and use a good paint.

 

got mine painted. looks perfect, paint matches perfect. no flaking and its been about 6 months.

 

I guess you need a gun and what not, huh? What grit did you sand them with?

 

i used primer that you can get at autozone, then any kinda paint worked i think i used cheap crap from wal-mart. It came out good, here's a pic. Crappy quality pic though

 

i used 150 wet sand then i used 350 wet sand, then washed and painted with 99cent spray paint from wal-mart.

 

When using these walmart spray cans, how did you manage to get the color right? I mean I know you got red for a red car but there are so many shades. Anyone do this on a grey civic like mine? Is there a noticeable difference in the color?

 

im just sitting back here waiting for you to try it.. lol


IF it works ill run out right after you

 

i painted mine myself at first
i got it professionally painted only because i couldn't match the paint.
but both ways, i've kicked them by accident and the paint never ever came off
