Aero Side Flares
5 Attachment(s)
So I recently got the aero side flares for my car.. The only problem is they're black and my car is lighting yellow. I was thinking of actually keeping them black and seeing what they'd look like since I planned on painting the rims black as well.. If it comes down to it though to paint them yellow how would I go about doing so? Anyone know any good DIYs? Or what are some of your opinions on what I should do?

paint your car black :lol:

Paint is usually best left to professionals. The chemicals and equipment are one thing, but to get a good finish you need a certain amount of skill. Otherwise it looks like ass. Ask how I know.
|
I'm sure you screwed something up badly then lol, I got a quote to professionally paint them. They said $100, is that a good deal or should I keep looking?

$100 is worth it for saving your time trying to do it. Just to give you and idea, you will need:
Compressor, paint gun, base coat colour and thinner, dust-free area to work, mask and breather (unless you like cancer), clear coat and thinner and the right temperature. That's way more than $100 and not guarantee of quality. Like above said tho, just make sure they use OEM paint, they should ask your for Mazda code for your colour. |
It's much cheaper to just paint the flares yellow, rather than paint the whole car.

Hah, if you in Cali, I have yellow ones plasti-dipped black, I would trade you ^_^

Hmm, If only i was 2,500 Miles closer:/

Why don't you just trade them by mail??? OP paying the shipping for both should be cheaper than paying $100 for painting them...
Another way to save some money in a paint job is to do some preparation yourself (maybe you can at least sand the flares down). |
