    Rocker Panel Paint Project

    Hi everyone;

    Well I finally was able to tackle my rocker panel paint job this weekend. When I bought the car the rocker panels were painted white like the rest of the car. So I decided to give it the factory look again and here are the results.







    Kind regards,:D

    Nice job. I like black rockers much better.

              I'll check when I get home tonight but I first used a can of Rubberized/Sound Deadening spray can from Pep Boys. Then I painted over with a semi-flat black rattle can spray paint. Turned out pretty good. :D

                    Hey, yes they are my friend!

                    But yours is lowered (my next project when funds become available) plus you have black shadow trim (something that I would also like to do with mine). :D

                    ...and I bet yours is a manual and not an automatic like mine.. :)

                      Yes on all three. I do need to repaint my rocker panels like you did here. Good luck on the future projects!

                          Did you paint the shadow trim black yourself?
