2003 XLT Paint Question

Hello, New to the forum!!

Well, I am sure it has been discussed before at some point, I want to paint the ugly plastic on the bottom of my truck. I have a 2003 XLT Black.

The plastic looks terrible so what are your suggestions?
Can I do it myself? Have a pro do it? Is it going to be expensive??

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Thanks a lot!

I did a step by step write-up when I painted my panels on my 03 Expy. Use the "Search this forum" button or you can check out my pic gallery to see the results of my panels. Good luck, and post some pics once they are painted.

I just searched for, found, and went to the thread. Once there I highlighted and did a copy of the link up in the address bar. Then came back here and pasted the link into my message.
