Default Why don't people paint their black RS side skirts?

Are they unpaintable? Would the design look weird painted? Just curious.

The RS side skirts take a lot of abuse so painting them even if they did hold the paint, would end up with a lot of chips and scrathes, particularly tracking a car.

Because they look much better in black.

And don't hold the pain well either.

I've been looking for RS skirts. Have done searches, etc.

Don't want to paint them, just want to find them!

Any assisstance would be greatly appreciated!

thanks Kary for the info. Ouch, just checked the price.
$3,800 for RS kit (including rear wing... which I don't want)
This may drop down on the mod priority list!

Some of the Cup cars had them painted. It is possible to paint them with special flex agent added to the paint.
