Painting sideskirts, need advice!

Hey guys,

So I'm currently looking to have the OEM side skirts on my wagon painted to match the rest of the car - aspen white.

I was wondering if anyone in the SF area or surrounding cities have any recommendations on a body shop that can do this? Some place for a good price but excellent work.

Thanks,
Austin

Thanks for the input fellas.

Pwnx0rz and myself are both looking to have ours painted at the same time; hoping to catch a deal or something. If anyone else is in the need to have theirs done lmk asap! Trying to get this finished this month.

Maybe talk to a shop about setting up a group buy?

We used to do these way back in the day and I think I got my skirts painted for $60 and it was solid work. It's better if they can get larger amounts of materials and shoot things in bulk.... like 4 sets of skirts take just about the same amount of time as 1 type a deal.

DIY! Theyre just skirts, theyre going to get scratched, scraped and bumped. You should just find a solid way to DIY it.

My harbor freight hvlp spray gun has put out!

Ask the paint shop if you can do the prep work. Take them off and sand them.
