I'm going for the poor man's body kit! Anyone here have their front lip, rear lip and side skirts painted to match their dub? Also, what's the process? Sanding comes first? Post some pics! http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif
Anyone have pics of their OEM skirts and front and rear lips painted?

u guys say don't do it don't do it, but here is a fine quality of a paint job that has no defects...so u can say stuff, but it was probably done by a poor shop!
Enjoy!(Orange one)

well it is still painted! And if u are so uptight here is a factory one painted, and yes fine quality again....not like some body shops who don't know what they are doing!

I agree that those GTI's paint jobs on the skirts were done nicely!

Would you only recommend having a body shop paint them?

the skirts are off now- looks better without the stock side skirts and a euro lip.
You have to sand it- 80, 120, to about 300, then primer- get good primer from a body shop that is for flexible surfaces NOT stuff from Walmart. prime em and then sand em and prime and sand them(with whatever the can says to sand woth between coats- i think 300 or so.) Then paint them. I painted them over8 months agao and they look like they did when i first did them.
I have the stock side skirts and front lip(NA not euro) for sale in cool white
