    Yep as said there are plastic trim pieces to cover the sills. I bought a complete solid car minus engine+gearbox including transport for less than my quote. Just more food for thought for OP :)

    GT turbos have sideskirts and trim panels on the sides of the car so you'd just get away with painting just underneath those

    Ah ok! Mine is just standard...so they won't look great if I just paint them on their own :(

    How would they paint just the sills? It will never blend in with existing paint?

    Blending in to existing paint is what a top paint restorer does.

    Its the perfection of his skill, thats why cheaper quotes like restos for 4k

    including a respray make him sound expensive.

    Its not expensive , its what seperates the pros from the cowboys.

    The sills are one of the easiest places to blend on a car. Being low down even a slight colour difference wouldn't be noticable.

    With perfect matching paint there wont be really much if any blending needed at all.
