They didn't sand mine. They used primer to fill and then painted.

How long have yours been painted, and how do they look. I really want mine done, but just took the guys word that it wouldn't work.....

We put them on the car April 1, two days after painting. I had all the other parts painted at the same time (spoiler, side window loovers, hood scoop, side scoops) and the finish looked exactly the same on all parts when I picked them up. The paint on the rockers is perfect. The install is quite interesting. It's all clips, so just line 'em up and give it a smack. This has been my dd all summer and I've put on about 17,000 kms. Haven't see any problems with the paint and haven't found any stone chips either. The car will be stored through the winter, but will be cold storage, so we'll see if that has any impact, but I wouldn't think it should.
