Default Paint shop question

I just bought this spoiler and want to paint it to match the body color, how much should it cost? It is already primer grey and looks ready to paint, I am not an expert and didn't even stay at a Holiday Inn last night so I could be wrong!

Also, if I plan on getting the mirror covers and side skirts painted to match as well, should I do it all at once to be more cost effective? About how much would it cost to paint it all? Not looking for someone to give and exact number more like a ballpark figure. (Pascal I know you have some thoughts! Great job on madstang's ride.)

I was told by my paint guy that for my side stripes(boss style), the center portion of my hood, and the spoiler was going to be $600 I think. This was going to be a matte black which from my understanding is a little more involved than plain ole gloss/clearcoat. And he basically said the spoiler was free to do since they would be shooting everything else.

I had a gt front bumper painted and it was $260 so I'd figure for a spoiler alone it would be well under that maybe half that.

setup is the most expensive part. So if you plan on painting alot of stuff, get it all done at 1 time so you can save the money.

I paid $100 for my spoiler to get painted, and my SHR louvers were $150 to get painted. Then again, I have a weird color that isn't your normal Stang color. that adds to the cost.

Ballparking the cost, I'd say $200 for the chin alone. I wouldn't be surprised if you got quoted $250-300 for all your items if you did them all at once.

Expect $400 and up. Pay no more than 600 though.
Usually $100 per part is like a norm on added parts.
Small stuff like mirrors or louvers, scoops etc... is more into the $150 for the pair.
