Question

I have a 1996 White WRX STi (see below) and I have the standard black plastic side skirts......I just wanted to know a couple of things:

- Has anyone painted them white?
- If so, do you have an image you can post onto scoobynet?
- Was it worth doing? / Does it look good?
- How did you paint it? / What is the best paint to use?

i got mine done when i had my car resprayed and it looks a lot better with them sprayed. it should cost about £60 - 80 to get it done by a bodyshop.

this is the only picture i've got of my car to hand that shows the sideskirts.

Had mine done by Scoobclinic.com they said you must use profesional paint and laquer due to stone chips etc they do sideskirts/mirrors/door handles/rear skirts £230 all inc!!!



I took a pic of them painting some mirrors&handles they even paint ferraris!!!(but prefer scoobs!)




£230! not worth getting your hands dirty! lol
Edited to say wow that pic is massive!!!

heres mine when it was colour coded white
same model as yours (just about ish)

i had a nitemare trying to get a half decent colour match
every other jap spec white owner has said the same

did meet one bloke who had a sti6 rear spoiler done and it was a really close match, but still not perfect
