Anyone have a rough idea how much it would cost me to have a SS body kit (font, rear. and sides) painted in Arrival Blue?

 

Did you find an SS trim kit? I've been looking for one for a while and wanted to know where you got yours.

 

yeah direct from GM parts lol I havent bought it yet, I want to know how much it will cost to paint it!!

 

as for qoutes my lip/hood/car completely rebuffed is 800

 

Wheres that guy that starts every post with "I manage a collision center..."

 

Not every one,but most since it is usually warranted. Just to paint the kit you would probably be looking at $750. Installed would probably be around $1100. You are going to need much more than just the plastic parts. There a lot of brackets and hardware that you are going to need to make it work. it will not just swap over.

 

I was quoted $750 for a kit to be painted (sand, prime, paint) in Arrival Blue Metallic.

 

I guess that means you are agreeing with me?

 

Shouldnt all the exisiting brackets and such work fine?

 

sure was agreeing - i think 750 is pretty fair, especially if its a good job...

 

DIY!
I don't want to offend any autobody guys, but painting base clear is frickin easy.

I'm currently working on painting a wingless trunk for my car. The estimated cost is $250 (Canadian funds) for the supplies, paint, primer, and clear. If you don't already own a paint gun (or can't borrow one), you can get a half decent one for a couple hundred.

 

Absolutely not. They are completely different.
