Sorry Chief, I had it done months ago and honestly do not remember how much just the tail lights alone cost - at the time I also had my rear emblem, grill and wheels painted gloss black, had my rear fenders rolled and had the wheels time-attacked. Everything together cost less than $750. Regardless, I saw John today and when I told him of Phil's shop's $250 price, he laughed out loud.
See my reply to absoluteg - I simply don't remember the individual cost of getting the tail lights done.
That's the way it's got to be done if you're going to surprise people!!
International does headlight painting but I do not know how much they charge. I've always wanted to do those myself so I never asked John how much he charges.

 

john at international quoted me 150

 

I went to Johnny's place, I get my car detailed at ADS across the street. Now if he can do the perfect circles that I have for $150, then by all means do it. He also has to have them paint matched and clear coated. Base coat + 2 layers of paint + clear coat + perfect circles = $150.. then ya thats a great deal. As long as he doesnt think you just want them smoked...

Now I've known Phil @ ADS over 10 yrs and Ive partied with Johnny more than a few times, and he can do better for ya.. then more power to you.
