Door Sills/Skirts

[Panacea]

Hello,

Would be so kind as to advise me on following please:

1. My existing side sills/Skirts are plastic & are not colour coded. Is it possible to spray these to good effect in order to colour code?
2. Do sills/skirts that are already colour coded need to be resprayed to blend in
3. Will Facelift sills fit pre-facelift cars?

Cheers

1. Yes. Check my garage out, I sprayed my sill covers.

2. As long as you don't own a black car and the skirts are silver you wont need to re paint them.

3. Yes

Thanks DasArab. Can I ask how much it cost you to spray yours?

Cheers

[Das]

About £30-£40 id say. I also sprayed the rear valance at the same time.

a pro would do them for not much more than that

[Panacea]

Really, that's relatively cheap! Although I spoke to a mobile 'pro' (FlyingColours - Smart Repairs) who was talking £150-£170.

[Das]

Yes that sounds about right for a job from a professional.

That looks excellent,I think they look so much better colour coded. Did you paint your door handles as well ?

[Das]

Yes I did them too. Actually doing the door handles made the biggest difference imo.

Yes I did them too. Actually doing the door handles made the biggest difference imo.

Thank you. Regarding the materials,are we talking normal primer paint followed by the colour paint then lacquer for the sills & the handles,or is special primer required for the plastic parts?
