Default Rear valance and side skirts painted

Okay so I got my rear valance and side skirts painted and got them put back on today.. Unfortunately its a cloudy rain day and I promise when the weathers better I'll put better pics up. The rear shots r the only one that came out. Oh and thanks to DiscoDave I sprayed the rear markers with thinned out black w/ clear on top! Thanks Disco!!

looks nice.

and.. obviously... how much did you pay for the paint job?

What about the possibility of small rocks chipping it? risky? or not even a big deal?

I think I like it. Its a subtle difference since the car is black and the sideskirts and valance are black. Now they are shiny and only people with a good eye will be able to tell. I love those mods the best.

That looks SOOOO much better. My car is black too and I would love to get this done. From the pics it looks like the valance has a smooth texture now. Did they do something to smooth out the roughness or is it just the pic?? I would be interested to know how much this cost also.

Thanks for the compliments. As far as the cost it was done basically as a favor. Im not to concerned about stone chips because there is about 9 coats on it. We spayed a few then sanded it and repainted to get a mojority of the texture out of it. The suns coming out today so I'll pull her out and take and post some more pic's.

Also I need your help, do you guys think I should paint a CDC black out panel and put that on or just leave it the way it is??

I have the CDC on my black 2010, and my valance has been painted for awhile.... check out my garage if you want to see pics of what yours might look like!
