I know people who have done it with spray paint and it looks fairly decent
for a while,but they all said it starts to fade,crack,and chip before long.
I would suggest getting it done at a paint shop if you have the money.

Same here, I got my sideskirts painted at a shop and it came out really nice. I wouldn't trust myself either in painting them myself because I would be afraid that they would later on fade, peel, or crack. Having them painted at a shop is the best bet!!!!
