Need advice for painting stock lowers

[A4-Vblack]

The shop that is doing some bumper repair work for me is going to throw in painting the all of the lowers with the original cost quote.

The lowers come stock with a texture effect. Can I paint right over that or does it have to be stripped down?

BUMP - What, no one has done this here? Help a brother out............

Yeah you can paint them.... It has been done on here before. Just need to prep them....

Just needs to be cleaned/prepped. I had mine done a couple of weeks ago.

What is considered prepping? I'm having a shop doing it - so wouldn't they prep it themselves?

Prep= They should clean it up and sand then prime it.

Any good body shop will do it. Just don't paint it. You need to prep it or all the paint will flake off....

i had mine done, prep it sand it, and it should be fine, I didn't have my sides done tho because the molding is basically rubber and i don't want chippiing paint, gonna wait for s4 skirts

I painted mine, it's holding up pretty well. It was pretty easy and only cost me 15 dollars, and it looks perfect. Here is some pics

Those look pretty good, but can i ask...why didn't you paint the front lower?

[TheDude]

Didn't have time, im gonna do the next time i have a couple of hours to spare.

i'm getting my front and back done (car is black), they'll sand it to minimize the texture, then prime it
