Default Advice on Painting Factory Side Skirts

I'm wanting to color match the side skirts on my two door Integra. I found a paint kit online and was wanting to know if enough paint is included for me to paint both side skirts. Kit includes 12 oz primer, 10.5 oz factory matched paint and 12 oz. of clear.

Here's the kit I'm thinking of going with: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Honda-Spray-Paint-Taffeta-White-NH-578-/201111526452?hash=item2ed32e5c34&item=201111526452&pt=Motors_Automotive_Tools&var=500283528222&vxp=mtr

Those cans generally do somewhere around 15 square feet each, so you should get at least 1 coat depending on overspray, thickness, etc.

I doubt that cheap stuff is going to last very long though...

I don't know. I sprayed once on a Hyundai I had after I lost the plastic thing over the back license plate. The original was black and I got a green one, sanded it a bit & sprayed some matte black. it held for years

Sideskirts take a lot more abuse though. Uncatalyzed paints are not going to be as durable against rocks and curbs and such.
