Default Painted side skirts

Can the side skirts be painted to match factory color? How difficult is it? If it is too difficult of a DIY project, what do people think it would run at a body shop? Same question for a chin spoiler, like this link:

I've seen sites where I can order Ford factory color and clearcoat in an aerosol can, has anyone seen/done this? Thanks for your help.

To do a lasting job you'll have to use real material (stuff that uses catalyst) and real equipment (paint gun, booth etc...)
Which means, you'll need a pro.

With the price of today's material, I wouldn't do it for less than $200.

Without a doubt but you're not always sure that they'll have your color.

Most of them have been bought out on NTO and other sites that used to offer them...

yeah, I noticed they'd been bought out too..

as far as the color-match.. I agree with pascal ultimately, pros are where its at... but..

I have purchased several (4-6 times) 12.5oz spray rattle cans (custom Ford JV color) and clearcoats.. and if done correctly.. had amazing results.. I've also screwed up some stuff
