Default How much should it cost? ( to get my wing painted and mounted? )

So that I don't get screwed on pricing, how much should I expect to pay to get my wing painted and mounted? I know they have to sand and prime but I'm "guessing" that the body shop will type the color code into a machine that mixes the paint automatically.

Thanks in advance.

Darius,
check with me for our local hook up.

Most of us go to the same painter, note I said painter not paint shop.

He did redgs4's body kit and repainted the hood and blended the fenders as well.

Paint matching is recommended, since just mixing to the factory color code is always risky especially with your color of car.

Very good pricing too>

Thanks Glen, I'll call you when it arrives!!! Can you give me a ball park figure so I know what to expect. Or at least what most people pay to get their wings color matched and installed?

Thanks again!

Is this a wing type spoiler such that it has to get painted underneath?

I can ask him for a quote tomorrow since I'm having work done by him at the moment.

Locally I would pay about $125 for this, but I don't know how much it would be where you are. Is the wing primered or what?

Oh man, you could have paid me the $ so I could add to my mod funds. I'm coming down this weekend and probably would have room for a slim piece of FRP.
But then again, it would not have gotten here in 2 days.

And $150 sounds about right for a paint job.
