Cost to paint and install body kit - Honda Prelude Forum

Well.. I've been saving up. I really need wheels to replace these pos wheel covers. I'm trying to find out the average cost of what it would be to paint a body kit.. I really want to find a cheap Kombat front and rear. Then maybe if I can get a decent job done, I'll try Maaco. Any idea how much they charged? And what did you pay for your paint?

i had a full Wings West RS kit on my civic, ready to be painted...then i hit a deer and all hell broke loose. BUT, i called like 20 different body shops/painters and the price to paint the kit ranged from 200 (which was my roomates bro at Finish Line) to 750 at a profesional detailer/paint place. In my past experiences, YOU GET WHAT U PAY FOR...350-500 is a good range, anything less and u'll end up w/overspray and a body kit that has a different color than ur car
