    I went for the 'rough' option which i was quoted $350. You can still see the texture a little bit but I'm not really concerned because it's only on a small bit of plastic. From a distance you can't see the texture, it's only up close. I had the option (for $500) to get the skirts fully sanded back to perfectly smooth before paint, but that cost didn't seem necessary on just the lower skirts.

    Yeah I got the bloke to leave that little part black. I was going to do it all silver but prefer the little black part there. I have a photo from the back I will post up tonight.

    Looks awesome. That's how they should have come from factory.

    Nice, finally getting a bit more of a nice colour over your car.

    Just need to do the rest of the bonnet, doors, boot etc.

    I wanted to go matte black but got advised against it from the painter. He said that it'll look awesome when first done but even something as minor as a handmark will not come out of it. because it doesn't have a clear coast to wipe blemishes off, every mark shows up heaps and does not come off. Advised for show cars only.
