Default How much for Paint?

Does anyone know how much it is going to cost for me to get my bodykit painted?

My best advice is to call around to about 10 different local paint shops and get quotes. They will most likely want to see the body kit to see what it is made of and what all needs to be painted. It will all depend on the quality of paint job you are looking for. A basic Maaco paint job will probably run you just a couple hundred, but to match the quality of the factory paint; be prepared to spend over a grand depending on how many pieces are in your body kit. You may also want to contact the company which your ordered your body kit from, sometimes they have good connections with paint shops and could have it painted prior to shipping.

Good advice! I had the body kit installed and the stripes put on the car for 4500 dollars. I know the paint job is near show quality and the guy that did it has been painting cars for years (30 yrs.) That included the install of all said parts as well. The stripes alone were 2500 dollars so a 2000 dollar paint job I assume was for the rest of the kit. Everything on mine is urethane except for the hood which is fiberglass. Fiberglass can be a pain to fit to a car so if there is alot of fiberglass in the kit install may cost more as wellfor fit and finish. Like offrdmania stated gets lots of quotes and ask if the work is of show quality. Most custom and hot rod shops have great painters and they are costly but you really do get what you pay for in this situation if you do your research. Later J
