To completely get rid of the texture on the V6 ones, you'll have to prime them heavily with professional 2K primer (high build) and wet sand them smooth to get them ready for paint.
Rattle can crap ain't gonna work here boys, lol.
The problem with this, is that texturized plastic doesn't hold high build up material very much.
It won't age good, so scrap that idea.
You could instead sand them down smooth a lightly prime them but it's so labor extensive that the cost of it will render the point moot.
Scrap that idea as well.
To paint the GT ones, a pro will charge you $300 or better for the pair.
