Default Silver horse racing louvers

I know plenty of people have bought these, but how many had them painted from silver horse? And if you did have them painted, when you get them, do you have to do anything, or are they ready to throw on the car right away? Mind you, my windows have already been removed, thats no issue. Thanks in advance,

If you do it yourself, you need the right adhesives from SHR. There is a How Too thread on here.
When I got mine, I had a body shop paint it for me and a glassman install it.

Here's the how too link;

Yea, Ive already got the windows out, done the sealant before, i'm just worried about the paint match. My paint guy basically gave me a lil more, than what it would be to just get them painted from Silver Horse, so if the quality is good, i'm just gonna have them do it.

Mine were black painted from them, looks perfect match... saying that I would not get them again. yes they look great but cost me a lot of money, I've also had install problems from "professional installers" Had them re-done after one almost fell off, no problems for the last 2 years, but I find the road noise in the car louder.

They matched the orange peel perfectly! I ordered mine bare and probably should have just got them pre-painted. They were pretty rough out of the mold and needed quite a bit of filler and sanding to get them smooth.
