What a great idea! In fact I am sure there are a lot of folks out there with 1950s Packards with similar problems. Painting the skirts is no problem -- start with a standard automotive plastic primer and then a couple of shots of top coat.

As I mentioned before, I think it would be in your long-term interest to add a metal support at the seat's steel support brace (or tabs, whatever!). Although maybe using harder modern plastic might make the supports unnecessary.

Anyway, if you can find out about reproducing those skirts, please send me a note. I think there could be a big interest in pursuing this idea. Thank you. Craig
