Do I need to paint all four pieces separately, or can I assemble first?

You can paint before or after installation — each piece can be prepped and finished independently, which is often easier in a controlled environment. If you prefer final assembly first, ensure mounting surfaces stay clean and masked during the painting process.

What surface prep is required before painting?

Sand the surfaces with appropriate grit to create a uniform texture, then clean thoroughly to remove dust. This ensures your top coat adheres evenly across all four panels for a seamless finish.

Will the side skirts affect jack point access?

Before installation, verify your vehicle's factory jack point locations. Many installations require minor modifications or clearance work to maintain safe lifting access — plan this into your prep phase.
