I live in Illinois so when it snows up here my body cladding goes a nasty grey and idk it just looks nasty... I was wondering if anyone here has painted their body cladding the same color as their expy? and if so did you do it yourself??

I am actualy going to get that done. I have an EB and I dont want the beige anymore. If you have a limited or EB premier, they come painted already.

I had mine painted, and I love it. It looks so much cleaner now.

Man, I wish I could have the money for painting my lowers. I look like a messed up panda with the Krylon Fusion peeling from some of the sections.

I actually found a guy on CL that paints on the side. All I did was removed the cladding myself and he painted them.

Eagle One Trim Protecting Gel is my best friend! :) Wipe on and off leaving no oily residue. It will turn any faded ash grey cladding into a rich black like new appearance. The best stuff on the market and it lasts a long time! I used it several months ago and my cladding still looks like new and it's been through a few rainy spells. Google it!
