On our cars we have a black plastic skirt all around, has anyone ever tried to paint that part to match th car's colour???
I would kind if give the car has a body kit around.

Yes, it's been done. Ken Garrison will chime in with a few pictures of a guy from LLSOC.com. It looked good, but the front part chipped from rocks. You could fix that with a clear bra cover.

Great!!!!!!!

I'm going to look into it, see how much it will cost and go from there, if I decide to go ahead and do it, I'll post pics of before\after.

What color is your car?

 

[Uncle Vinnie]

Silver

Silver Frost or Silver Birch Metallic?

 

[Uncle Vinnie]

I didn't realize there was 2 types of Silver colour.
the sticker on the door says "BRK" I'm assuming it's for Silver Birch Metallic.
This is embarassing, bought a car without knowing what colour it is

The paint shop I took my front bumper said they could do it, but the paint wouldn't hold up over the long term on that type of surface.

The rocks chip the front if you don't put a clear protective bra on it, the sides and back hold up fine. As long as it's prepped and everything correctly is should hold up fine. A member at LLSOC.com did this.
