prob 200 bucks depends tho if you put them on your self.. i recommend putting them on first and letting the flex a little bit so the paint doesnt crack

125 to paint your stock sides if you just want the paint, no installation...

Damn. My normal paint guy said 250. He said it would be like 300 but he was going to cut me a deal cause ive been there so much. Guess ill try another place.

btw, that price is with me just bringing them in there and having them paint the skirts

Hey sorry, I think I may have misquoted that. I think it's actually 200 to paint skirts if you just bring em in. 125 is for a wing I think. Actually it depends on the particular side skirt too and how hard it is to paint. Since it's just stock, it would probably be around 150 to 175.

$150 Is fair considering the small amount of work that goes into it.

About a half an hour to scuff them up and another 1 ½ hours to squirt the base and the clear. Most places like mine have a shop rate of $40-$50/hour. And any respectable body man should already have a pint or so of your paint especially if its that stock white you have.

I'm not retarded....I'm a very special boy.

Well if you figure 3 hours of labor at 50 bucks an hour, that's 150 already. Plus mixing the paint. You can't just put stock white paint if you want it to somewhat match the old paint on the car. We usually match it to the gas cap. It takes a while to perfect the mix, and you also have to add in the cost of the paint itself (probably around 25 bucks but shops will charge 50 for it to make money).
