How much is it cost to paint your body kit alone???? I want to make sure the price is right so I won't get ripped off. Please let me know which place I can go to for a reasonable price!
500? that sounds a little steep? probably helps if you tell us whether or not it's primed... the best way to find out is to call or go around and get at least 3 estimates... i'd at least bring a picture of the kit and have the specifications (width, height, etc)
Wow! That's some insanely cheap painting. Are you guys talking places like Macco? Cause they only charge like $300 for a full paint job.
For a very experienced place, I would expect near a grand (from what I have seen). Unless your current paint job does not include a gloss coat. it would then be cheaper.
But $500 seems insanely cheap.

We're talking about JUST the body kit if that means anything to you smoking tires... cuz anything over 500 for JUST the body kit seams really expensive to me... how much has anyone payed for the whole car?

Yes, I understand that it is just the body kit. But I also know that a quality paint job costs money. And that body kits aren't small. The kind of paint job these people are talking about is macco done in and hour, same painted use on their house stuff.
Maybe prices are more compeditive in other areas, but around here, it cost money to have real pros paint your car.
