My car was nearly unscathed from the track day, but noticed that the lower rockers did not fare so well. This gives me second thoughts about having them painted

Damn! Was the track that dirty?

The nose of the car is clean as are the fenders, mirrors, and A-pillars. I think that is going to be the norm for this fast a car - you're going to be right up on whomever is (temporarily) in front of you, and even on a clean track the rearward rockers will bear the brunt.

I think it would be fine to paint them, but as soon as the paint dries, clear bra it. Don't even drive it because it will pick up debris.

Otherwise the paint will literally wear away right back to the black plastic.

I just ordered 2 new panels from Porsche at $174 ea with PCA discount. I will paint them body color and use the old ones for track days

you can also put that rubberized coating on the lower rockers to match the factory finish and get better paint chip resistance.
