Painted Splash Guards to Match factory Paint

I need a simple how to on a way to do this...paint all my splash gaurds the same color as the factory paint (KH3, super black) and make it so it can last for a very long time without chipping. what to buy?(brand, type?) and the best way to do it. thanks!

Well, I think the best route would get a body shop to paint the fronts only. It shouldn't be that much. As far as the rears, buy the pre-painted ones from Nissan. Eventhough they are made for the '02-'03's, they are universal for the '00-'01's also...perfect fit. On my car, I have the Nissan body-colored ones on the rear, and eventually will have the fronts painted by a body shop. Since yours are black, this may be easy for you to do it yourself, since black is a more universal color. I would buy a super-gloss paint and clear it a number of times for longetivy.

Definitely take it to a body shop to have it painted. If not, apply armor all or some sort of protectant once a week every week. That will keep it nice and shinny!
