i have no clue what you are trying to say, but the aero kit already comes painted if you are wondering. you cant buy it anything but painted.

it really isnt an issue with the aero. Like abmerop18 said, it is guaranteed to fit perfectly, and comes painted. As for anything else, I would have it installed, just to make sure no modification needs to be done. Once you have it on and looking good, take it off and paint it.

OEM aero kit comes pre painted.
You can install it yourself. Shouldn't be any problem.
If you are talking about bodykits that are unpainted.
Paint them first before you put it on.

Make sure everything fits correctly

Then take it off, paint it > then put it back on

ALWAYS paint your kit before you install! dont roll around with an unpainted kit... my friends and i call that "PYS syndrome"... PYS = PAINT YO ****. so next time you see an unpainted body kit on a car... tell that foo to PYS... PAINT YO ****.

i wouldn't drive with an unpainted kit, but i'd put it on to fit it first. just makes sense to me..
