painted my sideskirts
all this talk about painting them, so I decided to paint mine. It is black so there's not much of a difference, but it looks a lot nicer. my only problem is getting it real shiny. I sanded, 3 coats of black and 3 of clear but it is still a little bit duller than the rest of my car. any tips? and don't say "get it professionally re-done."

RE: painted my sideskirts
Can i use Mossy's method to do my **** outside? Its supposed to be pretty nice where i live tomorrow and i was wondering if the process was affected at all if you do it outside. 75 and Sunny is the forcast.. I dont have a garage and i can't paint in the warehouse i usually work on my car at, so my only options are outside, or in my house somewhere
