Default Interior Paint Question

Got a question for you guys on here. I wanted to get several of the plastic pieces painted to give the interior a little color. I have a picture at the bottom to give you guys an idea of what i'm talking about. I assume that any paint shop should be able to do this. The question is how much should I expect to pay? I am assuming that this is a cheaper way to go opposed to buying a roush trim kit for $350.00, so let me know what you guys think.

Like I was saying in the post. Most of the kits are $200+, and the ones that are on the lower end of that scale are usually glue overs or don't cover up the whole piece. In my opinion if the price was right I would take the avenue of getting them painted. I'm just not sure what that price is. Does anyone have any estimates?

Ok, in that case, you can take the pieces off and paint them yourself. Its not hard to do. Just make sure you prep them right. You can get paint made up to the exact color of your car if thats what your looking for or any color at http://levineautoparts.com/spraycanofto.html

If you get it done by a body shop make sure they put a clear coat on it it looks SOOO MUCH better!

Go to advance auto and there is some awesome wheel paint there (can't remember the name right now) that I used for my interior pieces. I used graphite but I know they have silver, white, and a bronze color too. They also have clearcoat.
