Painting the kit...

Alright, this is my first self install body kit. Its on, looks good, bla bla bla....now I need it painted. How much should I expect to pay? Does anyone know a good shop in the Phoenix metro area?

For best paint on a body kit, may I advise you to take it back off the car for painting?

At least trim the thing out before installation, otherwise you're going to have paint in places you never dreamed.

Two tone my ***, any painter worth his salt can match; besides, painted plastic/fiberglass/etc will never match painted metal exactly.
