Grill & door handle painting: what should I expect?

I'm painting my grill and exterior door handles body color soon (SE style). Who has had this done? I was wondering what a shop normally charges for this service.

Not sure but I am getting my kit painted and the guy quoted me like 20 bucks for the rear window spoiler.

So I will say ~30-40 dollars for the grill because of how it shaped, and maybe like 20 bucks for all 4 handles.

Why not just buy an SE grill and handles in your color?

The handles will probably cost more than getting mine painted, they'll be hard to find in my color (sagemist green), and even harder to install. Kind of a no brainer there.

I'd gladly buy a FS0 SE grill if you have one available.

If you want it done right I would remove the handles and grill from the car to get painted. If you don't remove the handles you will be able to tell they were painted. Around the handles there is a black gasket that you wouldn't want painted. Or are you only going to have the chrome painted and leave the rest? The grill would be easier to paint off the car.

I did have a grill available a few months ago.I still have a set of SE Sage Mist handles.

If he had the equipment, I am sure he would paint it himself. We all would... You can always cheapo it for now though, TAPE+spray cans are you friend
