paint the original sills

[Morephun]

as above if i was to get these professionally done what would they look like as the plastic has a sort of (orange peel texture) so to speak...has anyone had them done and do they look good,also to paint these and the irmy irs spoiler i have been quoted £175 is this a good price! cheers guys

the only way to get rid of ' the orange peel' is to rub them with scoth brite pads to key the surface, then spray them with plastic primer then high build primer, rub that down then apply some more and again and again then the orange peel should be as smooth as a baby's ar$e. bodyshop will probably charge more for doing it but the effects are tons better.

Thanks, not many of us saloon owners about
Not sure about them being smoothed, I left them for the body shop to sort.
I'll try & get a close up picture later & see how the surface is.

I had mine done and not orange peely at all. £175 seems fair to me.
