Default Painting EK Side Skirts

I have 96 Civic EX and I want to paint the stock side skirts to match the car color(VSM). I searched and found only threads with How-To's for painting rims and the car itself. Maybe someone can post me a link? And where would I find the paint to match my car?

dunno where u can find matching paint but its not hard to paint side skirts since they're so small. all u need to do is wet sand til they're dull/flat/smooth/etc, apply a few even good coats of primer, couple even coats of the actual paint or w/e (wet sand if it starts turning out uneven and re-do), then clear coat it

and remember this job depends on how thick your coats are. the thicker they are, the more you have to wait in between coats

Ok, sounds pretty similar to painting rims. Where would I be able to find the paint to match my car tho?

The Dealer, Just call them up and they'll ask for the paint color. It's located on the side of your driver side door.
