Any pics of painted plastic panels

[amkullar]

Hey guys, I'm thinking of giving my LR3 a sort of upgrading look. I want to paint the plastice panels, fenders, bumper etc. But i tried looking for an LR3 09' so i can get a good look of what it would look like. Does anyone have pics of their painted panels. Did you DYI, or get a paint shop to do it. Any help would be appreciated Thanks

paint shop is better because you have to match the color exactly. Only problem is it may not last a couple of years. If you want to save some money take them off yourself. buy new clips cause you are gonna need them. clean them twice, first clean all the grease off of them and then clean them with alcohol. have the dealer body shop paint them as they can match it exactly. Having them removed will make it easier for them and cheaper for you. in fact they may just charge you an hour maybe less for the job.

Would it be better if they sanded them. So their not that rough look when painted.

clean them up first and then give it to the shop. they know what is best for that kind of material and part of paint may include some prep or they may tell you what to do to get it right.
