????For those of you who painted our own sideskirts or lip
For those of you who have painted your own lip and or sideskirts.
Where did you get your paint from? i'm thinking aobut getting mine from www.paintscratch.com They said a 12oz can sould cover 6 square feet but my 12oz can of primer only covered my lip, i dont see how a 12oz can is gonna cover my lip and side skirts. How much paint did you people use? Does anyone know of other places?

If you have an air compressor I would suggest buying a spray gun. I've seen really cheap ones at home depot for like $20. I have a $50 gravity feed and it sprays great. Your job will come out 10 times better using a spray gun rather than a spray can.

This is the one I have

The price went up a little since I bought mine because they were so popular. This is a copy of the $400 Sata spray gun.

The gravity feeds (the one on the right) are much better. They use less air from the air compressor and have less overspray. Only disadvantage is they're a little bit more expensive.
