no offense, but do you know much about painting a car?

If they were to paint your car, and exclude the bumpers, due to the age differences and possible mix/application of the paint, you are going to have a different color. So, yes, if you wanted a good quality paint job, and not just "blending" to match the colors, you will need most of the car painted.


I got a new hood for my car, and they had to spray the fenders, and front bumper to get the color to match somewhat closely.

I got in an accident that damaged the hood and one fender and they respray blended almost to the trailing edge of the doors on my red Civic. The only way to tell it had been painted was the fact that the front was more shiny than the rear.

Spraying the rear is a little bit tricky, according to the shop that did my R. I got rear ended in a parking lot and they had to replace the bumper - they were already going to respray the entire lower portion, so I asked about debadging - they said they would have to respray most of the hatch and to do that correctly, they would need to remove the glass because you would see the seam if they just taped it off. That seam would also not be under the seal then and the clear coat might start to crack, which happened on my Civic.

Car looks good. That's a nice type r lip also. To give it that gsr or type r look are you going with a oem wing. I had my side skirts painted. I just kept the oem ones. I'm sure you can get a dealership to paint your car. I work at a dealership & they painted my skirts.
Just make sure they have they're own body which prob. make a diff. & the biggest thing no matter where is if you have the money.

Not sure if your aware, but that pic of your car is advertising theese sideskirts on e-bay. They look damn good BTW! Link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...MEWA%3AIT&rd=1
