i actually had it done DIY by a forum member here several years back for around $300, he did a crappy job.
ended up tolerating it until i had some damage done to the front and rear bumpers, insurance covered it, replaced bumpers and painted the sills, looks much better

I think you guy are grossly underestimating the costs of a prefessional paint shop. Let's put thing into perspective and typical labor/costs. Figure $65/hr tech rate:
1) Remove side sills. .45hrs
2) Clean and prep side sills. 1hr per sill (2 hr total)
3) Tape off front bumper, clean, prep. 1hr
4) Tape off rear bumper, clean, prep. 1hr
5) Prime and paint 1hr
6) Reinstall sills .5 hr
7) Polish/buff 1hr
Paint and shop materials $100
Total cost: ~$550 to $600 and a $65/hr tech rate is low
