30 bazillion dollars!

Kidding.
It really depends on what quality of a paint job you want. Type of paint, number of coats, number of clear coats..My guess is less than $500.00

Those kits are cool, but they like 2500 bux and paint will be around 500 to 800 bux at least.

I'm thinking around a grand.

could fluctuate depending on your paint, metallic paints (such as lazer red) cost an assload more cause they require more coats.

edit: after careful research, I see you have a black car.

Plus red paint is more expensive to begin with. Costs more to make.

It will cost you at least $2000 for a full paint job, and probably around $500 for just the kit, but depending on your color, and how good your stock pain it, IE, does it need to be repainted to match your new paint, will determine the price of the paint. My advice, don't do the kit, it doesn't look right, and it doesn't look that great, if you want a body kit, get a urathane kit, stay away from fiberglass, like a Saleen, Cobra, or one of the Roush kits, and if you want aftermarket then I reccommend the Stalker, there are a couple of others that look good, but the Stalker is my favorite.

Well, I just had a price quote to paint the HOOD of my car, just to paint the hood black the lowest price I got was 500 dollars, the highest being almost 800 dollars at the place that I like (Miracle Auto Painting, they've done paint repairs on my cars before, their work is FLAWLESS). Im guessing an entire body kit with top quality paint would be at least 1,500. [:-]

That's funny that you said 500 to 800 bux MG, because everytime I go to get parts painted, it doesn't matter if it's just a bumper cover or 4 or 5 items, it's always around 500 to 800 hundred bux, LOL. That must be their minimum set up charge or something.

it costs more to make? the red pigment is more expensive or what? The guys at the body shop just told me that my color would be the most expensive one because it is a metallic paint and they have to put a primer coat, and then a metallic sparkly coat and then the red and then the clearcoat, which is one extra coat over normal paint. I think the metallic green color and one of the black colors need the extra coat, too.
