Painting the VX skirts

[kpoida]

hey,

i recently brought a white VX2 exec and im considering (among other things) painting the stock, black skirts. Just wondering if this is a good idea. ie. will it look alright, or like ****?

also, what would be the the best spray paint to use? are there any that match the commodore white, aged a few years, better than others?

thanks.

PS. first post

I personally think it would look ****...far too much white...
Nothing wrong with a bit of black..
Only my thoughts though..

Got all the blacks bits painted on my silver vx the front & rear bumper, mirrors, door mouldings & skirts. Looks much better i reckon. Cost me $700 though but i think it was worth it.

yeah forgot to mention..I got my mirror's painted white..
Apart from them I left everything else black..

I do think silver would look pretty good colour coded..

yeah man got mine done in tungsten as well as my door moulds and mirrors looks heaps better and will make the car look a little lower too

Colour matching looks awesome, but forget doing it with a can. Save up and give it to a painter to do properly.

you can get a spray can of same colour from holden looks identical in colour... BUT... doesnt have the gloss finish so not rcomended but a cheap option
