Materials:

1 can Bulldog Paint Adhesion promoter (pep boys)
4 Cans Plasti Kote or Dupli Color paint to match the vehicle, or get it custom mixed.
2 Cans of Plasti Kote Clear Coat
320 Grit Wet Dry sand paper
1600 Grit wet dry sandpaper

Steps:

1. Remove all parts from the vehicle. Take the rear bumper off to get those skirts. Removing rear bumper takes about 10 minutes

2. Wash everything with a strong degreaser.

3. Wet Sand with the 320 grit on all surfaces to get painted. Sand well, remove tar, bugs, crap, scratches

4. Wet sand with the 1600 to smooth it all down

5. Wash with dish soap really well and let dry for several hours

6. Spray the promoter. I did 3 coats on all surfaces. Let dry 30 mintes before applying paint

7. Spray the paint. Thin coats allow for NO RUNS!

8. Spray untill you think its covered well.

9. Let dry for 1.5 hours.

10. Spray the clear coat. Thin coats. Its up to you how much to apply though.

11. I let mine sit in the garage for a full 24 hours to cure, put back on vehicle next day.

Hey Dude, where'd you paint them? Outside, inside? Just wondering how you got all the parts fully done. Do you have to paint the bottom/top? How'd you go about this? Basically, I'm just wondering how I should position these when I paint. Where I should keep them to paint, etc. Thanks...

The driver side skirt came off while going 70MPH the other day because I failed to put the rear screws back in h:

Oh well I found it after not knowing it was gone for a day and put it back on
