Did you use Duplicolor spray paint? if not then Share your knowledge please. Also how long ago did you paint them, have you noticed any chipping or cracking?(gossip)

lol..

actually I did... but these turned out REALLY nice.. like. I get complements on them all the time..

no chipping..

hmm.. is there a how to?

I could do one I guess


Basically just take off all the silver panels (mostly all clips..)

Sand them down with 600 grit.. till they are nice and smooth.. wash off the dust.. let dry. umm

spray on some primer, I used just black primer,.. did like 5 coats..

then I used Midnight Blue paint.. did like another 5 coats of that.. then I sprayed on some sort of clear coat.. I think it was clear coat for furniture.. super strong stuff..

did another 5 coats or so..

turned out perfect.. looks like it came that way from the factory.

those look fanTASTIC! did you have any difficulty in removing the plastic parts or do they just pop off? did you break any clips? and where did you get the paint from?

That price should be for the pair, shipped. They are official mazda accessories. They should be real plastic. I don't know if they make them for the back as well. If you are really interested, I can ask Ken to get more details for you.
