If i were to buy a brand new body kit (Front lip, 2 side skirts, rear bumper) for my 01 prelude how much would it cost to get it painted professionally to match the colour of my car?

Obvoiously i wont get an exact price but i was just looking for a ball park answer. Anything helps, thanks.

 

$1 million....along w/ your SOUL!!

 

rice alert....dont do it...please im begging you

 

Go to a local body shop in your area and ask!

But somewhere between $500-1000.

 

i plan to but it's BC day today so nothing is open and i wanted an idea of a price today lol

 

i would say go to a tech school who will do free labor and you just buy the paint. and if they mess up they fix it and the teacher will do it who is most likely professional. thats wat im doing wen i get my lips. im gonna get my school to do it. way cheaper

 

never thought of that but that's a pretty good idea although im not sure if there's any schools like that around where i live. Will check it out tho.

 

anywhere from 500 to 1000. depends on the kit how much paint they would need. usley a quart with a 2 to 1 reducer could do it also got take the paint into effect for the price also. they also use a flexable primer. then you need it cleared some sweet stuff is anti scrtch clear.

 

Maaco did my spoiler and it came out really good for $103 ( after Illinois tax) Just an estimate they said they'd do a front bumper for about $200-220 in the same color and mine is a pearl color, so it's a little more expensive. So I'd guesstimate:
220 for front, 220 for rear, and maybe 150 per side skirt? = 740 plus tax and any other stuff they add to it...

 

maaco doesnt clear or prep the surface for paint the tap and spary thats whay so cheep

 

i plan to sand it down and primer it myself...about how much would that save me in money.

 

hey dan, I live on the island too, in campbell river....

I got coastline mazda (in campbell river), to do my bumper/one side/and a trunk including shaving emblems/spoiler,... they do really good work, and I believe have a courtesy car.... call and talk to jim or carl. both older guys who do great work.

 

Sounds good man i'll give them a call when i decide to do it and see what's what...thanks for the reccomondation.

 

Altilude if you read this it wont let me message you back yet...but thanks for the information, if they're as good as you say they are than there's no problem i shouldn't check them out is there. Im fairly new to this whole car thing but i just bought a pretty kick *** prelude and wanna do things the right way. Any info helps lol.
