Shop around you might find somewhere cheaper, but it all comes down to how much effort is involved smoothing the plastic, prep, the paint itself with plasticisers etc, and most paint is now water-based because of emissions regs and is more expensive than the old solvent based stuff

Bugeye side skirts have a dimpled effect and need prepping to get them smooth....... £150 probably a good average price for a good job

Yeah get what you pay for when it comes to paint. Might be worth bearin in mind that sometimes the panels around them might need blendin too if its an old car (like mine lol!)

just come back from a well known body shop round these parts and the guys said its pretty much a waste of time to paint the skirts as the material there coated in will sooner or later cause the paint to crack or peel. He did say if i had some after market ones, he would spray and fit them as well as re-spraying my back bumper as its a mess for £200.
