How much to paint Saleen side skirts?
Going to get an estimate tomorrow to paint my Saleen side skirts Vista Blue. They are already primed and ready to paint (according to the manual), so this can't be more than say...$200, right? I just need it painted, not put on or anything.

RE: How much to paint Saleen side skirts?
sounds fair.. I was quoted 175 for a GT/CS rear bumper when I considered getting it. this project seems comparable, no?
that was for paint and a clearcoat and some kinda guarantee/warranty..
now I shudda gotten that bumper.. cuz the GT one I just bought had the paint melted during its shipping and looks horrible.. so I gotta get it redone.. duno how much it'll cost for that to happen.. (I was just quoted 400 by some crackhead dude.. [&:])
if the place you take it to says it will have to do more prep, you could always do that yourself and just have them paint it, shud save you some $.

If the side skirts are about $200, how much do you guys think the whole kit may cost?
the saleen ones look like this:

$175 for any bumperis a steal (unless you're talking 1/18 scale lol). Can't do that for my customers.

I would def buy like 5 GT/CS bumpers for 175..lol
Pascal, do you know if it would cost much more to strip current paint off a bumper and then paint it, versus just taking an unpainted bumper and painting it?
Thanks yo.

Well yeah. Stripping is more labor, therefore, more money. At least $100 more.
And yes... $175 to paint a bumper is cheap.
Sorry, I'm the one that didn't clarify[8D].
