Default color matching your OEM side skirts

guys, how many of you have painted their own side skirts rather than taking it to the shop to have done??
How hard is it and list parts/materials involved.
also, if you have any pics of it, please post it

thanks

easy easy easy

it really depends on how good you want it to look, but this is what i did:

I got about 2 bottles of 'import color' acura/frost white paint and Honda clear coat (along with primer). not expensive at all.

clean and SAND the side skirts really good after taking them off (just unbolt from the bottom and slide em towards the rear (or front??) of the car.) I didnt sand the side skirts very well and am paying for it by having to touch up where the paint flakes off every once in a while

put on as many coats as it needs, let dry, and ta-da!
