Will Body Shops Paint Small Items

I'd like to get some mirrors or mudflaps painted to match my car (eternal pearl blue).

My question, for those more knowledgeable about this subject than I, is whether a body shop will paint such small items as the ones mentioned above?

And if so, approximately how much will this cost me at an average body shop?

I would appreciate any input. Thanks!

If you do the prep work yourself like any sanding required and priming, then you will save some cash. Most places will do it, don't go to Maaco or someplace like that.

I've had aftermarker sideview mirros, rear deck spoiler, and front lips painted.

Mirrors = 120.00
rear deck spoiler = 50.00
front lip = 150.00

The guys did an awesome job and only took 2 days.
