Default Lowers?

I know this is a common question, but I need some advice. My car was put in the shop for a new paintjob and I wanted my lowers painted, the guy at the shop told me it could be done however he wouldn't guarantee the work for the lowers, now I live in New England where it snows and stuff and I just don't know what to do. I like how they look painted only thing I don't want to be throwing the car in there every 6 months to redo the lowers... any insight on these? A part of me says the hell with it just go for it, another part of me says to hold off, What should I do? How long to these normally hold up, or at least with the New England weather... THANKS!

go for it! a lot of ppl DIY. like me... haha not perfect but they're holding up. mine cost $50 for paint and three hours. how much does he want? If you get them just keep a nice coat of wax on them and you should be good.
