Hey, i have a 1999 2dr 5sp civic EX. I've noticed that on most civic ths stock side skirts (or whatever u want to call them) arent painted, and on some of the cars the side molding things that go on the side of the doors isnt even painted, its just the black plastic. My car does have the side molding things painted, but not the side skirts. I'm also looking at getting a new front lip (prolly a Greddy one i found). My question is how much do u think it would cost (rough estimate) to just get the side skirts and front lip painted the oem black color?

thanks again, Evan

 

honestly man i just took mine off and painted them, if your careful you can do it yourself, i found an exterior krylon spray paint that works well, and dries in like 12 mins, i did about 3 coats and then 2 coats of clear coat, just to make sure the paint doesnt chip easily...try it yourself first, if not they can always redo them, it should cost you 20 bucks tops..

 

i might try that....if i do tho, what color do i need to get (the oem black color for a 1999 honda civic 2dr EX 5sp)?

thanks again, Evan

 

nah, gloss black looks nice, go to wal mart and look for krylon exterior gloss black spray paint, get 2 cans just in case, then buy clear coat, 1 can should be fine, take them off run them under water and soap (warm) then dry and spray, but be patient dont rush it, if you have more questions just ask either me or mossy, hes my dog, he knows a ****load about painting too, aight? get back at me.

 

doesnt it have a rough pastic finish. and dont u have to sand it down first

 

no sanding needed......itll look fine. The clearcoat will be smooth as butta

 

exactly.

 

smooth with no sanding huh? what about orange peel?

 

mossy reminded me too, always PRIMER, its kinda obvious, but not for first timers, just FYI

im slippin' guys my bad...
