Painting a Body Kit

This forum is pretty dead, so I thought'd I'd throw a question out.

How much did it cost you guys to get your kits/lips/pieces painted?

Where did you get it done?

How much to get the stuff fitted?

Just wondering

I wouldnt pay more than 300 to paint an entire kit

i actually learned from my neighbor on how to do it. Believe me u save tons of money when u paint and prep it urself. Yeah 300 isnt bad from a shop price. But diy u can spend like 150-200

DO NOT paint you body kit yourself. i've seen too many cars out there that tried this method and there car looks like crap.
i paid $400 for my lip kit, grill, mirrors, and eyelids to get painted. nothing needed to be fitted, the perks of buying poly-urethane, and i installed everything myself. i got it painted at Angkor Autobody in stockton. i told them over the phone what i needed painted and he told me the EXACT price.
