Do a good job masking the lip, and take the time to take the skirts off when painting.
Use several light coats to make sure you have coverage.

I'm looking to do sideskirts and front lip maybe a copule other things.. where do I start? take it off sand it down and get the paint from where
I've heard there is a place online that will match paint and send it to you in a spray can form which is really all I'll need for about 4 dollars a can

about 4cans of 12oz??
sand it down real good, resand it with finer paper, wash the sucker and dry it, use alcohol to remove oil, and then find a good spot(clean, dust free, with windows), primer, paint, clear.
of course there's alot more trick and tips you can use..

urethene dont need primer i think, that's what my friend told me when he have his WW prelude lip painted.
lightly sand it down with different grat of sand paper, you can get some great sanding product in autozone, such as 3m

yea it's too bad duplicolor doesn't make Flamenco Black Pearl. It seems like they don't make any of the colors that are Pearl or has any sparkles in it like that. Too bad because i don't want to spend 30 a can at paintscratch.com. I liked how my sides turned out on my last frost white gsr.

Re: (vain)
buy the paint yourself. and paint it yourself is way more gratifying [if you have the time] to paint your own parts.
i painted moldings, grille, and lips.
i feel pretty comfortable doing small parts.
i bought paint in a 150ml aerosol can fromt he dealership,
sanded, primered..the whole nine.
wet sanding and buffing till shine.
you can spend like 50 bucks, tops for paint and supplies.
the rest is elbow grease.
