I'm buying a Wings West W-Type body kit for my 2002 Accord Coupe and I was just wondering how much it should be to paint all 4 pieces.

DO IT YOURSELF!!!! ive been researching alot about it and it doesnt seem that hard, just get a few cans of touch up paint, primer, clear coat.... alright i guess what ya gotta do is sand it smooth, primer it, paint it, clear coat, and your good to go. I donno ive been reading some forums and im gonna try it with my body kit....

Idiots! Nothing is ever as simple as it seems when doing bodywork. you sand it one time and then paint it, its gonna look like SHIT. and rarely do these kits fit right up; if they are warped in any way its gonna take a lot of work. sand the car, and primer it with the expensive shit. avoid aerosol cans. sand it again. primer it again. repeat this until the surface is as smooth as the rest of your car. now take it to a paint shop and have them paint it. the most expensive aspect of bodywork is sanding. since you have presumably done this right already, the shop should only charge you maybe $200. and there paint will be gauranteed to match the color of the car. im telling you, do the shit right the first time or youll be sorry.
