That is kinda expensive for the paint. I am planning to spend about 700 for the paint job. By the way Where did you buy the parts from.

Well, you usually get what you pay for. I had some friends who tried to save a buck or two going to the midnight body shop and the results were not very good. Sure, the paint color may have been okay, but the finish was rough, seams visible, and so forth . . .

Paint is cheap - but the prepping is what is expensive and labor intensive.

I bought my parts from MartyG35.

i wouldnt go anywhere that charges only 700 for front, rear, and sides...unless its a homie hook up or something. what liche quoted is about the going rate for most areas....however, i know of places that would charge about 500 just for a bumper. the fitment also takes time and money, but thankfully the rookie bumper has pretty much perfect fitment.

Sounds reasonable....shouldn't be more than 1350 though..hopefully for you it comes out to be cheaper
