Is this a good price?
I got my Cervinis hood and louvers.The paint guy recommended to me by MANY people who have used him quoted me $600 for the job. Does this sound high? What have you guys paid?
I also want to get painted stripes. What is a good price for that too? Any input/suggestions are appreciated!

Sounds about like the going rate, or close to it to paint a hood. Most places around here want $2000 to $3000 for painted stripes. Maybe they could work a deal to get both done at the same time, would save some labor time in the paint prep anyway.

i don't know how much you're willing to drop to get your stripes painted, but consider going the vinyl route. since i didn't feel like spending a few grand for mine, i looked into the vinyl alternative. you could do it yourself inexpensively, and there are many places that offer the service as well. definitely look around, though, before you commit. i ended up going to a graphic design shop that does car striping on the side. spent more than i expected (about $600), but thework is spectacular. they were super careful and angled/cut all the stripes in such a way so as to contour them to the body of the car, from under the front bumper all the way to the back, even including the rear spoiler. not everyone willdo such a great job (one place told me that they couldn't put vinyl stripes on the bumpers b/c. it doesn't look straight - ha!), so be deliberate and picky. good luck!
