(99 teg gs, volgue silver)I just bought these and need them painted:

lip
type r spoiler
also painting oem side skirts

My question is? whats the best way in doing this?

(1) spray paint bottles (primer, color, clear coat) from auto store
(2) try to find a small shop
(3) Maaco ( i heard they are rip-offs, but these are small items would they be fine?)

 

unless you have painting equipment, for the best quality, take it to a paint shop, so they can match it to your current paint scheme.

some people i know can paint at home with proper equipment, but need to have a dust free enviroment.

 

******* stupid *** HT freak.. i left a long *** reply.. oh well.. rattle can it unless people around your area have good experiences with maaco. just depends on how much u want to spend

 

it will never match but silver might u must paint it first then get it tinted the paint store will not be able to match it beacause the car it self has seen alot of sunlight u will have to blend them together to make it look right

 

The best option out of all that you give would be to get some spray bottles from paintscratch.com or whatever and do it yourself, but make sure to take time to make sure that it's well prepped.

 

Here is an example of how well some Duplicolor Import spray cans can look if you take your time and do it right. Don't know if they will have your color or not. Scroll down till you see the red teg.

if you take your factory colour code to an automotive paint store, they can usuially mix you a 12Oz spray can for like 10$. And, aslong as you use the right paint code, it will match perfectly...provided your paint hasnt faded.

 

if you spray paint them they will look like crap and no macco have a good body shop do them you will be happy when they are done and will match up better then anything else

 

So your telling me that the link above that I posted where the guy used spray cans looks like crap? You must have some mighty shiny crap, or you color sanded your crap or somethin.
