hmm have you tried waxing it down Phillip? I'm pretty sure it will become glossy and shiney If u do let me know how it turns out ay
never thought about that hahahah guess its cause im use to not waxing the sideskirts before cause they were just black plastic, but i'll definately try doing them later on down the track and let you know of the result, i'll prob try some plastic polish on it a bit later on too
color matched the side ones today too, looking better now =)
i got a bit lazy to take them all of so i did them the lazy way and just taped it all around with electrical tape, nice and soft, good on the paint.
4 layers of primer with sanding in between, 3 layers of colour and 4 layers of clear coat, looks outstanding =).
i think i might actually leave the door handles and mirrors, gives the door a bit of contrast that having everything silver.
just some pictures to illustrate the end, techniques used in this part was pretty much the same as the sideskirt one
mud flaps are rubber, im not too sure how well paint goes on rubber.
i was thinking of actually taking them off cause it looks kinda good but in another way i kinda wanna have them there to stop all the crap going onto the sideskirts when it rains
take your car even to a panelbeater and they will paint match your car as well. thats how i got mine done, also probably a good idea to put some clear coat on too- between the base coat and clear coat you should probably do it within 15minutes (While paint is tacky) or if you let it dry make sure you clean the base coat with some prepsol then spray it on again
i also wet sanded and polished my side skirts/trims but im just anal :P lmao
If u do let me know how it turns out ay
