How much to paint??

Hey guys
what are the prices sum have you paid to paint you kits and other parts??

Light brows?
Front bumbers?
Valve covers( powder coat)??

I just got light brows from ned for speed and Im still waitin for th call to pick up my bumper...so I wanna see how much you guys have been paying??

My Stillen front end only cost me 125 to paint, but I knew the guy hes a good friend... :D

For powder coating check this guy (http://www.geocities.com/bnoon50311/) out

Hey thanks for the help.. Im gettin ready to paint...soon
I was thinkin about tryin to rent a booth and doing it myself...
Do we have any painters out there that got a few pointers???
I have a friend of a friend that works at an auto body shop and hes gonna help us out if we decide to go for it....but Im still debating???

I like the feeling of doin things yourself... Its not really the same when you pay for everything, ya know??? It seems like any one can pay for things... But not alot of peeps can say...YEAH I did that...or I made that
PRIDE... its a good feeling when you do sumtin TIGHT!!!

:eek: $350 to paint your M3 spoiler? Surely you shopped around, didn't you?:eek:

Yea that does seem kinda expensive!!! :bloated:

thats what i thought. i dunno theres a few nicks and shit init he said he needs to sand/ prime and paint it. but i thougth 350 was a bit much 2

Yea but then again I got it for a real good price because he is my friend at the body shop hooked me up!

DAMN!, $350, that is totally a rip-off. I paid $90 to get my stillen front end painted. You just gotta know how to bargain I guess, let them know you will be coming back and you will also be referring people to their shop. Always offer cash, people get filled with enjoyment when they see the green.

To paint a spoiler with a three-coat paint it will be around $180 worth of materials. I found a guy that will do it for $100 cash <-- the important part is that if it is done in cash.

damn when i go pick it up and get it intstalled i'll see what i can do

I paid 2200 NZD (about 1000USD) for a full respray but I did all the strip and assembly work myself the paint looks sweet.

took me proberly 6 hours to put it all back togetha but getting it apart was a bit easier and it would be a lot quicker if I'd put the screws in marked bags etc instead of havin to piss around and find them I also didnt take all the car apart cos I didnt know what they wanted off so I left a bit of it for them! As for the Price I think u need to take into account I live in New Zealand so its really only a good price cos of exchanges rates etc
