The best way is to just go otu and shop around in your area. It depends on hundreds of things such as, How busy the shop is, how good they are, how fast/slow they are, what paint they use, what they pay for their products, how big/small they are, how well known they ar, what kind of job they do, and so on.

yeah i know, but im not going to have time to run to the shop here for a while, and i didnt think about asking them last time. so i was just hoping someone could give me a rough estimate like pr4life36 did before.

For a front and rear lip plus a couple of mirrors I can give you a real good "rough" estimate. Anywhere from $150-$700. See what I mean? Again, it depends on the shop and all of their variables. Most likely look to pay at the higher end because most of the good shops HATE doing little stuff like that and most will refuse it all together. So, to make it worth their time they will charge high.

Make sure, if you have the parts, to take them with you so they can see exactly what it is and how big and how involved. I forgot, price will also depend on whether it is fiber glass or urathane as well.

dang, i dont have the parts yet. im considering if its worth buying them because it is just minor cosmetic stuff, thats why im trying to find out the price of painting.

it is better to the parts w/ u. when i go around and ask for quote. they told me to let them see the kit they are painting before they can give me any prices.

They won't even give me a price w/o having the body kit w/ me.

My civic is sitting in the paint booth right now. I'm getting sky blue tribal flames all the way down both sides of the car, and my clear coat is gonna have aqua flake in it. That and fixing the bumper and the parts where my car got egged (psycho ex-boyfriend) $550.
