Cheapest painting kit price ever.
$400 is steal.
Most people pay $1000 + for painting and installation bodykit.
You can get paint from Honda dealer. They can order perfect paint for your car.

400 is extremely cheap for paint and install. I paid 350 to just painting my kit. I had to install myself.

400 is cheap as hell for painting a polyurethane full bumper kit. better check to see if his work is any good first.

get it from any paint shop. honda doesn't sell it i think. if he's good you'll only need maybe 2 pints. just give them your paint code and they will mix it. ask your guy if he needs primer, adhesion promoter or clearcoat also.

I paid nothing, he he ..... Did it myself, all I had to do was buy the materals, and that cost about $200 CDN.

But $400 is really good to paint and install a full kit.
As far as paint from Honda I dont know if you can get it or not, your better off going to a paint shop and having them mix some up, all you need to give them is the paint code from the car, I prefer to use Sherwin Williams Ultra Select 9000, thats what I used and it came out perfect.

Good Luck Man.

I'd say $400 is a deal. I too recently got a quote for $500 for a 4pc R34 kit. (Paint,fitment and install incl.)
