Default PAINTING THE STOCK SIDE SKIRT!

I am highly thinking about painting the stock side skirt on my 00 civic EX its the only other part that is black on my car. now I was told if I have them paint them the color code of the car, its not goin to match and it will be alot brighter and shinneir than my body, my car only has 30,000 miles on it do you think this is a big deal, would you be able to tell a tremenduos diference and be like o crap look at his side skirt its so much greener than the rest of his car. Or do you think I should go for it. its only 75 bucks, and how hard is it to take those side peices off.

hell no. I got my mirrors sprayed at 61,000 miles, and I dont see a differnce at all. Besides, I dont know of a paint shop that orders factory paint from the dealer... generally a good shop mixes it themselves

first off. who told you that it wouldnt look right? was it a shop or one of your friends saying it? if it is done right it will look just like the rest of your car. any decent shop can do it with a factory finish, just dont go to macco or fact-o-bake. go to a privatly owned shop and they will do it right.

Yea i got a price from macco and they said it would not match so I am looking at some custom paint places to get a quate, and also for my rims, I am sandblasting then polishing out and painting gloss black and the 7 spokes are goin to be the factory clover green. its goin to be sweet I think. How much yall think it cost to get for rims painted right.
