I paid nothing for the work (did it myself), I paid about $350 CDN for materials and paint.

My cousin has his own body and paint shop so he has painted 2 cars for already and my civic will be number 3. He really hooks me up all I have to pay for is supplys which comes out to about 300 or less. But I give him the hookup on comptuer stuff. So we take care of each other. He charges normal customers about 2,000 per job on average depending on what all they want done.

better to get it painted RIGHT the first time, than to dish out $$ again to redo it....

Do it once, do it right!

It should run about 500$-600$ to paint a full kit...front, sides, rear.....atleast that's what a majority of the cali shops are charging

I wish it was that cheap for me....im running custom paint and its pearled so its costing me $350 to paint a full front, $250 to paint new sides....ahhhh oh well the price of things comes high with custom paint... [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG]

I paid $350 to get my Xenon front painted. The paint is chipping in the front....and a little in the wheel well. I dont think he used flex agent. Not very happy.
