02 WRX -- painting side skirts

[switch]

Hey dudes,

I am considering getting my flat black side skirts painted silver to match rather than forking out to get the OEM painted skirts.

Couple questions:

1. Anyone had experience doing this in cowtown?
2. Where in cowtown did you get it done?

discuss, much appreciated.

My uncle did it on his WRX. Turned out pretty good for a DIY job. I'm too lazy, so I forked money over for OEM ones, but I got a good deal on it. :)

If you want a bodyshop to do it, I think any of them can do it.

OEM ones are ~$200-$300 CAD?

Hmmm...

For used ones probably. :rofl:

I haven't been to the dealership for a long time, but I think it's about $450+!!!

I suggest Imperial Collision for all your painting needs. I know the guy who owns the Deerfoot and 16th Ave location.

They can match any color for almost any price range. Go over there and get a quote from them.
