Painting VXC Skidplates

I seriously wouldnt use spray paint on it because they get quite a bit of roadwear. Spray paint will chip, fade, and wear faster. I had Ron finish mine in a gunmetal gray and it is quite durable. A few years now and nil a chip. Spend the extra dollars and get it professionally finished or you will find yourself with an eyesore after some road time with just spray paint.

I also bought Ron skids in raw form and if you have painted cars before you can get a similiar quality from using auto paint in spray cans.

It takes more elbow grease-I prepped and sanded between coats and laid paint in several layers and thickly which is much easier using a gun/compressor. You'll need to find a dust free area too, such as a garage versus someplace dust motes and that one large bug attracted to the paint.

The key here is patience and elbow grease and lots of sanding.

Anyway, if you have more time than money it can be done and still look professional.
