So i called the Honda dealership to see if i could get some paint to paint the sideskirts and they dont sell paint, they buy it from another local place. So i call the local place and they quote me $76 for just the paint in liquid form...so i'd have to have someone else spray it....and then clear it. I know it doesnt cost that much for all you guys to have done it, so where do you get the paint in rattle cans?? Or should i just buy Frost White and deal with the fact that they arent the same color?

Just by a rattle can that is as close as possible. Have you tried Pep Boys or Autozone for the dupont spray cans?

you can get your color code in a spray can on www.paintscratch.com

but thats still kin of expensive. so i would just get the closest match. im sure duplicolor some kind of honda white, i know they have other honda colors.

you should be fine, we are lucky in that black and white are very easy to match, and even if the colors are a tiny bit off, it will be very difficult to tell the difference, unlike other colors (ie red and blue) where it is VERY easy to tell if there is a slight difference in color.

ok so i email'd my uncle(owns the shop that painted my car and my dad's new C6) and he was advising me not to do it cuz he said that it won't stay and if it does, and part of it chips, then its nearly impossible to strip it all off again...i hate this now i dont know whether or not to paint em (its for the skirts btw)

i just had the skirts done proffessionally cuz i had to send my car in to get some other stuff repaired/painted so i just had them spray my sideskirts/lip at the same time cuz it wasnt a whole lot more $$$.

but the wheels im doing my self. well, with the help of my friends. ive got all the paint sitting in my room, just waiting to get them blasted. then i have another friend who works at a local import dealer and he's gonna mount and balance my tires for me for free.
