well with my skirts i went to this place(GE auto paint in Long Beach) and bought some color matched spray paint which was bout $12 a can and bought two and two cans of clear coat.... i wet sanded it(which took me awhile) to get it dull enough to prime it, then i primed it white, sanded it again, painted it, then put ALOT of clear coat to protect it and give it its shine...

to prime something, with primer, it's like putting down a layer that will make the paint stick better.........

Step 1: Take parts to local body shop
Step 2: Wait for parts to get painted
Step 3: Put them on your car

Is that what you wanted....lol!

Are your lug nuts stock? If so replace them ASAP! If not - they look cool. I like chrome lugs with dark wheels. Good looking car
