I'm getting my front end 97-99 conversion done. How much will it cost to paint and install? Just wanna know an estimated figure i will get when i go to a body shop. Thanks

 

100-300 depending if they have to prime and paint and the quality.

Proph

 

not to be a b****, but why did you even ask... every shop is not the same, nobody pays the same for a service usually. like all tinting is never the same... you should just call them and get an estimate because all we can do is tell you between this much and this much... it helps you none...

 

Id say $300+, $500 or so if you want the paint blended, and with the age of the paint, it'd be a good idea.

Thats probably a good estimate.

 

Depends on the condition of the cover you want painted. If there are stone chips and marks that have to be sanded down your looking at body work time. Pearl paint (three stage) is also more $$$ then base / clear (two stage).

You've got to figure about $300 for a refinish, add about $40 for pearl coat and if you have 1 - 3 hrs of sanding and prep work, add $40/hr. Then add the cost of the Flex additive for a cover $6. That should bring you to a reasonable figure.

You really don't need to blend the fenders, a good shop will tint the color to match the paint as close as possible. Most bumper covers are very slightly off in color do to the flex additive anyway. If you really want the fenders blended your looking at another 200 - 250 per fender.

 

anyone ever try these guys? new bumper cover painted to match your paint code and then mailed to you ready to bolt on.
