I am about to order the grill from robearracing and was wondering how much you think the dealer will charge to paint it? Or how much it should be at any body shop?

dude its not hard. goto paintworld and order a bottle of paint. they guarantee it to match and it does match. just wash it with dish soap, dry, primer it, few coats of paint, few thick coats of clear, wetsand, and polish. really easy.

You really just have to shop around. When I was getting my spoiler painted, some shops wanted like $50 to paint the entire altezza grille while others wanted upwards of $100.

I guess so

I would take it to at least 3 different shops though. And remember - a quality paint job is more important than a cheap paint job.

$100? damn, i got my entire bodykit painted for $150.. he's doing it for free this week because he messed up on a small part, due to lack of lighting, then my Altezza Grille for like $20 extra. he's good too. i can get my entire car painted, under hood, inside the doors, inside the trunk, everything for $1500-1600.. any color i want.

No offense but yea $150 sounds like a good deal but I want a good paint job not a shitty one. $150 sounds like a maico paint job. No wonder you are having to get it redone. Getting your ca painted fpr $1500-$1600 is nice, but when you say any color, you mean custom colors too. It sounds kinda iffy because that sounds like a cheap paint job.

Well anyway today I called around and I was quoted by honda and a honda prefered body shop about $75-80 but they said that aftermarket grills wont hold paint very well. They said a bug might hit it and chip the paint. I just went ahead and put the grill on like it is. My car is black anyway.
