I'm thinking about getting my mud guards painted, has anybody done it themselves??? Or what price should i expect to pay at a paint shop?
thanx

 

Get them painted chrome color, so it will match your couch. Ghetto-fabulous!

 

I was just playing. You should paint them yourself with model kit paint. I've done it, it look real good. You gotta paint quick though, cause the stuff dries quick and will streak if you drive too fast at first.

 

DON'T paint them yourself. Let a body shop do it. You need primer with flex agent in it because there plastic. Then base coat and clear coat. Paint should run about 30 bucks. Labor, figure a good hour or so. $150 total including material should do it. If there done right, they come out SWEET! Just check mine out - see sig pic.

 

If it comes out to $150 you might as well just get the factory bodycolored splashguards (about 70 from Tustin Nissan)

 

Man this is a do-it-yourself forum. No weaklings allowed here. If you can't do it yourself, then you don't deserve to be here.

 

The mud guards spend half the time covered in mud or dirt, so its a waste of money to buy them new or have a shop paint them. Paint them yourself, you'll be much happier.

 

I knew i can find support in some of you guys, and definitely will do it myself.
So do i have to sand it down, or priming it will be enough? where do i get the paint to match, and how do i paint it?
waiting for answers
thnx fellas

 

Try www.paintscratch.com
They have primer, base colors and clear coats all in spray cans too.

 

How hard is it to take them off? i didn't even look at them yet?
What's the paint code for the 2001 Sterling Mist?
i hope i find the can of it in a spray, and i don't really wanna order over the internet.

 

I'm still waiting for the license plate cover, what's the matter with you, it's been weeks?

 

The front muds are not hard, with the rear ones I had to remove
my tires.

Your paint code is KT3 (which can be found under the hood).

 

i guess i have a project to do over the weekend.
then i'll be driving around like this -

 

I painted my splash guards myself..as well as my bumper.. it is definately something u can do yourself..Since the splash guards are plastic/rubber material you will need flexible paint. Go to paintscratch.com and order one spray can of your color from then. They offer if with flex additives for around 30 bucks. goto your local auto parts store and buy a can of primer and a can of clear coat both for about 5 bucks each..buy one sheet of 200 grit sand paper..one sheet of 800 grit sand paper and one sheet of 1200 grit sand paper..if you want a really excellent finish buy a sheet of 2000 grit sand paper as well..total cost less then 50 bucks..best of all its really fun if you like DIY projects..if you need more paint tips email me...

 

Haha I was just talking trash to try to get him to do the work himself. Theknite is a moron. I hope he tries to repaint the whole car himself. What a dipshyt.

 

YOU'RE A MORON. I DO EVERYTHING MYSELF.

 

Probably cut your hair yourself too eh? Good luck you bird brain.
