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.

ok...i guess im gonna go with him...cause he just did a friend of mines and it looks awesome....hes done others too.....hes a friend of my brothers so i dont think he'd screw me over....but anyway.....how much does apint from Honda cost? and how much of it would I need?
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.
