I painted mine before. I went to Pep Boys and got me some Paint in a can and painted my skirts white to match my car.

It was coo until a couple months later. The paint would flake off and chip...

That's when I bought the OEM kit.

If you goto the shop to get it professionaly done, they usually charge you $100.00-$200.00 -

I'd spend a few more C notes and get the OEM kit.

kinda similar topic....but does anyone know average cost to get the OEM rear pieces painted at a shop? cuz i might be buying some white ones, but will need to get them done in black so they'll match my car.

1 lip would usually go for about $100~150.

also, do not do it yourself.. it may look good for a few weeks, but then it gets dirty easily and you wil have to spend money on more paint to refreshen it up.

Professional shops use a paint adhesive(sp.) called "Bull Dog" to get the paint to stick the the side-skirts, that's the advantage over a DIY paint job. I got my skirts and side moldings painted about a year ago, and they look just as good as they did when they were first sprayed.
