Haight 05LGT Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Could someone please photoshop my side skirts black? over the weekend someone on a bicycle ran into the side of my car and left some huge scratches on the mirror cover and side skirts. I am toying with the idea of painting them black along with my front lip when I get it next week. I know they are not the best pictures but they are the only ones I have atm. Also, how in the hell do I remove the mirror covers? Thanks! http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p553/thaight91/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_6721_zps39d0f4cc.jpg http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p553/thaight91/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_5829_zps8090c646.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laz Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 You mean paint right? Powder coating is for metal pieces. Do like everyone else and their mother do and just plasti-dip them. X --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI you can get a glossy look from Plastidip, just do some research. Dipyourcar.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeltaNu1142 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Finally. I'm a big fan of learning how to do things yourself. Paint.NET is free, just Google it. No one taught me how to use it, so I'm not very good at it. But even I can simulate powdercoating your plastic rocker panels: http://i.imgur.com/9cVU3.jpg I've done this one... now you try the other. BTW, there is a thread out there to request photoshops. Tits mcgee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wengermi Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 so to clarify, you dont want to plastic dip it to try it out and then peel it off and make it permanent? if you plastic dip it first and not like it then you can always go back. how about rhino liner instead of paint to make it rugged?

I have other parts of my car plasti dipped already. That is not the look(glossy or matte) that I want for my rocker panels and lip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingbang Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Why not just wrap it in some 3M vinyl? You can get the 1x5ft lengths cheap enough...removable...lasts a long time if you like it...many options to choose from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get the 1x5ft lengths cheap enough...removable...lasts a long time if you like it...many options to choose from? That is something that I had not thought about. Although the reason I wanted to paint is because of the scratches...I need to sand them down. If I used 3M it would show through Im sure. The scratches protrude.

famaya26 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Well whatever you do OP please upload pics. Like I said I want to do it on my 05 SWP. And I apologize for the thread jacking earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laz Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 If you are going to paint them then you have to sand them down and prep them correctly. If not they will peel in no time. Believe me I know I painted car parts for a while and it is a pain to see them peel. If I was you I would just paint them same color, but that is just me. And I though the thread jacking was fun, so I am mot apologizing! Your title and description of what you wanted to do made it teh funny.
