All you guys with the Stillen Aerokit, how much did you pay to get the Kit color matched? Particularly those of you with Pearl White since I hear its a little harder for them to get a paint match so they charge more. I am about to get one hopefully soon so I want to know how much money I should budget for the paint process. If your price included and install let me know that too. I plan to install it myself with the help of a friend though.

Thanks.

 

You know other guys with aero kits that are not white might know the prices on the paint job too. Might want to call them out too.

 

You shop around or ask members that live in your area. Shops can charge anywhere from 400-700. Try installing it yourself to save some money.

 

Point taken, thanks

 

Cost about $20 if I remember correctly for two cans (base coat and the pearl coat). I just have the lip, but I have about 60% left in the base can and 80% in the pearl can. It doesn't take too much to paint the lip. I originally bought the lip used pre-painted arctic white, but the paint was pretty chipped and cracked. I wet sanded the paint smooth and used some touch up paint (didn't really match too well...but from 10 feet away, who knew). I installed it on my Maxima and got use to driveways, parking bumps, etc.

After about 2 months, I decided to try and paint it myself. I removed the old paint, used a gray primer...but then found a can of white primer in my garage. This primer matched the my 97 Pearl White pretty well. Sanded down the primer and applied about 3 coats of the base coat. The pearl coat was pretty tricky. It doesn't take a lot of the pearl coat to match the rest of the car.

It's been about a year, and I have a few chips here and there, but it's held up well. I only wish that towerpaint used a flex agent in their paint like paintscratch.com, but I'm happy.

 

$20 for two cans, not bad at all.
