painted upper & lower valance??
I know I'm probably beating a dead horse but can anyone tell me where I can get painted or paintable upper and lower valances for a 04 Arrival Blue rcsb 2wd silvy? I'd paint the factory ones but they have way to much of a grain & I'd imagine the paint would crack very easily if done on the original.

ive painted a few of the originals, including mine and they all seem to be doing fine..i work at a body shop, so i did go through all the proper steps to make sure the paint bonds with the plastic...i baked them multiple times scrubbed them with a alchol/water mix to get all the oils out, i then cleaned them with a plastic cleaner and the sprayed a special adhesion promotor/sealer. some of them i put paint directly over that, but on mine i primed them first to get the texture out of them. they seem to be doing fine, i did one about 6 months ago, and see it on a weekly basis...but as far as if anybody makes a paintable aftermarket one, i havent seen one yet...

I ordered the top valance from an '06 Silverado. Its already smoothed just paint to match. My problem is finding someone to paint it. Ive taken it to several body shops around here to get it and my fender flares smoothed and painted and no one wants to touch it. Everyone is concerned with the durability of the paint.
