Aero Skirts Painted with Rattle Cans

Wanted these for a long time, but it always bothered me that the cost of painting was about the same as the parts themselves. Only a couple hundred bucks I know, but the tinkerer in me refuses to pay for labor lol. Found a really good guide for getting "show quality" paint by using rattle cans (link HERE). I think the guy who wrote that is a pro, while I've never done any type of automotive paintwork in my life. Still, the results are pretty good, and all the defects I have are my own fault (not from using rattle cans). I wet-sanded through the clear, paint, and primer like a moron by sanding over the creases in a couple spots. For anybody that's experienced with paintwork, you really could get something high quality

I used paint ordered from bavauto (2 cans), and Sp*****x 2k clear (2 cans)














Still needs a good buffing (sweet 6in on the way), but it's love already
