painting black strips

[mauibuilt59]

I was wondering if anybody bothered to paint the bottom portion of the camry gen3's doors? I seen a Honda civic that painted the black strip on the bottom of his doors and rear bumper. It looked really clean, like a stock body kit. I was just curious how a camry with its black stuff painted would look. It would probably have a more "lowered" look. For those who painted it, would you mind taking pictures? or if youre bad ass at photoshop, you could try do it on that also. thanks..

I believe he's talking about the black plastic portion just below the doors, spanning from the front mudflap to the rear wheel well.

yeah, I think most of us w/ light colored cars did, or else the car looks like it's riding high.....after it's the same color as the car, you can see that the car's actually pretty low....


the best way is to get that rubber spray made for rocker guards that is paintable....just go to walmart, and you should be able to find it there....it comes out black

then use a couple layers of primer, then paint, and then most importantly, the clear coat

has anyone done it on a white car, oh i jus thought of how dirty its gonna look every day if you painted it white!

Yea my cars white and I had it done a year and a half ago. It looks great. When your car gets dirty it gets dirty. But its not like it stands out and all.

Yep, I've seen it on a white one before. It looks very nice! I havent seen it on any other colors. i was tinking about doing that to mine a while ago. I also have the gold /champange color, but I didn't know how it would look.

i was thinking of doing this but with rock guard paint (rubber paint)

i think it would look silly, but different, gen 3's are too curved to do it real neat at least for the front
