Don't the 05/09 share the same rocker moldings than the 2010?
If so, I'd go with a set of new take off and shoot them GB.
No prep involved there.

They appear to be different Pascal

Forgive me, I'm not very familiar with the 2010 yet.
Remind me to take a look at them next time you come by...

I'm gonna go price out the side skirts today to see what a new set cost, if they are as cheap as the GT500 lower valance was I might have to get them and let you paint them up. Since I have the Roush side splitters IMO I think they will good painted. If it doesn't look good their is always e-Bay...

I am having a guy that I know painy my new GT500 bumper as we speak. He said it should be a problem as long as its smooth with all the plastic piece are. I might have him do more after I see what happens with this one.

Do you have any pics of the side splitters installed? I've thought about getting them. I've googled lots of pics of them on the 427R but I'd like to see them on a stock GT with wheels like we both have.

It's trial and error my friend.
