Hi Guys,
Just wondering how i go about this to get a long lasting smooth finish, seeing as they have a texture.
Will be painting in 2 Pack.
Cheers
Chris

You could try high fill primer and lots of sanding if you really want a smooth surface, but the side strips are usually left textured. Don't forget its a flexible material meant to protect the doors etc, you would be redoing them every time there is a minor bump. You would need to add a flexing agent to the filler and paint, if there is such a thing for 2 pack.

Another option is to remove them, fill any holes and repaint the doors? I remember seeing a 2nd gen with this done before and it looked ok, I think it had a full bodykit too.
