Question Sidekirts to be painted

Hi,
I am loooking to have my side skirts painted to match the rest of my wrx as currently they are black.

I am just wondering where I can get this done in the glasgow area and how much it would cost?

Would I have to buy the paint myself?
Could I do it myself?



cheers

I wouldn't recommend doing it yourself, it need a bit of skill to end up looking right. You CAN remove 'em yourself and take them for spraying, save some money.

Ask around a few body shops, or try some of the local lads with modded cars for recommendations.

DO insist that they are done with proper plastic base coat, or it will all flake off.

DON'T grab the lowest quote, it's not always the best job Speaking from experience here

when i had my sti spoiler sprayed (nearing in mind had it sprayed free by missus's stepdad...) but anyway, the paint, was 13.99 a tin mixed, by wilko's....think the full name is wilko carmaster, they may have a website. im sure they are in most towns, not just mine, but anyway i only needed two tins for my spoiler at fourteen pound each its not bad, and they mix good too, jus give em ur paint code...id suspect ud need only 2 tins for ur sideskirts mate.
