What should I expect to pay to get my body kit painted?

I'm going to be installing my body kit myself soon, I've got the stillen front and the ionic sides/rears. I have a pretty good bodyshop that did body damage for me, but I was wondering what range I should expect to pay to get the front lip, the sides, and the rear pieces painted? I just need to know a general estimate, i was thinking like $250? I just need to know so i don't get ripped, thanks.

around 450$ should fine about right.. some people have gotten it 300-400$ and a good job done.

I have a kit laying around as well and i want to get it repainted, it's not the color of my car.. I'm going to get some quotes when i have some time from shops around here..

Well, it's from a guy, not a shop. I've seen his work on some local hotrods and custom cars. It's very good.

yeah be careful with really low prices bc I got it for 300$ and the paint started flaking off. I got my $$$ back and i am getting it painted right now somewhere else for about 400$. I know they will do a great job. Just be careful.

I live in Houston, and my dad is a professional detailer, also one of the best in Houston. He also does bodykits on the side. So if anyone in Houston that wants a kit painted, my dad does it for $500 or maybe work out a deal for $450 for a perfect job. Email me if anyone in Houston wants their kit painted.

I got mine painted and installed for $650 in North NJ. Might have been a little high, but you get what you pay for with anything in life. Good luck

from what i've heard the kit isn't too difficult to install. everyone praises about how easy the lip is to install, i've heard it shouldn't take more than 20 minutes, same with the ionic sideskirts, but the ionic rears might be difficult to install - i've got the 2 piece.

i painted and installed mine for $150


300-400 should be all you are paying. you paint color is not unique, is it?

you will pay 600 for pearl white or some some crazy mixed color



shop around
