i just got some sides and a front lip, should i buy spray paint and do it myself?
they are both pre painted already but i want to paint black over them.
Whta type of paint would you reccomend? Something glossy?
I dont think its reasonable to pay 400 bucks to paint 3 sides...

 

Just go the rustoleum route, as so many others have done in the $50 paintjob thread.

You can get a quart for $8, which will be more than enough to do sides and a lip. Gloss black or flat black, take your pick.

 

oh wow seems like a lot of work... i was just hoping i can buy a spray can of the night hawk and paint it? doesnt work that way?

 

you can do it however you want its just how good do you want the outcome

 

if i bring it to a shop, will they have the exact color that honda uses? I have a black car, im afraid the shop'sblack might be different than night hawk black...

 

shops color match atleats the shop that I was at if they were off by a noticable amount they would remake the color but try to get it just right

 

any decent paint shop will be able to take a reading from your paint and get a very close match. may not be perfect.
if you are looking to match your paint and look good i would definately say take it to a body shop.

one thing you might check into, i don't know if there are any tech schools around you that teach autobody. but i know when i was going for autobody we would spray peoples stuff cheap or even free just to get practice. might be worth checking into if you're not worried about it being perfect

 

is black pretty universial? its just the fine gloss that is important right?
