I have 04 sedan.. the 1st generation.
I really want to get rid of black bottom things.

I want to paint the lower sills, but i dont' want to spend a lot.
Anyone painted lower sills?
How much it costs?

what tools need if I paint myself?
just lap the upper part, scrub with sandpaper, and spray the paint?
that's it?

 

nope. nobody has ever done it

you should try it and be the first

 

^^ LOL. Translation = yes, people have done it. Search and ye shall find.

 

really? No one I am pretty sure there are a handful I can find. Last one I saw was someone with an IP Sedan did it but in the pics it was not 100% color matched.

 

Nope, you must be mistaken. The cars are 5-6 years old now. I'm pretty sure this idea hasn't come up.

 

LMAO @ willey

 

Yes, it can be done; you can even do it yourself pretty easily and paint them a base color like black.

The down side is that they are the door sills which means they see a decent amount of action so that paint isn't likely to last.

 

You guys are rough haha

Wayne you still painting your next spring? You have a PM btw.

Mine are getting painted with my hood when my bumper arrives.

 

What bumper did you end up going with?

 

I painted mine about 2 years ago and the paint is holding up fine on the sides and rear. No chips. I didn't have the paint the front because I have the Aero bumper, but I'm sure if I had to paint the front, it would be chipped badly. Of course, the OEM paint chips badly as well.

OP, search "DaveB" and "painted sills", "DIY painted sills".

 

It's a secret!

I wish Emerald Mist came in a can so I could paint my skirts easily lol

 

It can. Go to any auto paint supply and you can have them mix a spray paint can or 2 of your car color code.

 

Really? Would that look like ****? I'll start painting everything EM lol

I can't think of anywhere that can even mix paint to a specific code in Canada.

Any ideas there?

 

i have an ip sedan and i painted the lowers myself and it isnt exactly matched!

 

I painted mine myself, they came out alright, is really hard to make them come out glossy like a regular paintjob though so that you can see your reflaction
