#18211, "Painting cost question"




          

I was wondering how much it would be to paint side skirts and door caps? What would be a fairly decent price to pay? I need a tiny crack fixed up too. $200?

hmmmmmmm... i think that's kinda high. i'm gonna have an entire front bumper painted(plus holes filled) for $100.

Trust me. Shop around. You'd be surprized at how low it may be. Also, make sure you find a place that you know does good work(i.e. no crappy paint jobs).
See if anyone around you can get you hooked up.
Later,
K

To paint stock side skirts and door caps, I would say anywhere from 200 to 250.

100 to paint and fix a front bumper is dirt cheap. Most shops that do good work know they can charge a lot more than that, and will charge a lot more. We'd charge at least 200 to 250 for that front bumper. 200 just to paint, plus any extra to fix it. My friend once got his front painted for 100 bucks and installed, but it ended up not matching his car at all, and there was fish eye all over it, really not worth the hassle.

I talked to Joe earlier today to see how much it would cost ... I'll talk to the other guy too ... I just want part painted and not the whole car. I might even have a spoiler to paint too emoji
