BS would be a little cheaper although still not cheap, maybe $700ish. IP is a more due to the layering/color matching needed.

Yup it was ~$1000 for:
Painting the sides IP
Silver Pin stripes
Full Clearcoat

It was more than I thought it was going to be too. I had my whole bumper painted for around the same price before. I guess painting the whole thing is easier.
Which could be another option for the future buyer.
