free.99 if you do it yourself. grab some sand paper, high heat paint and primer and spray away.

Most importantly, need to use adhesive promoter. With out that, paint chip is inevitable.

As for cost, I would say about $60-$100. If you prep yourself, I'm sure a shop would shoot it for like $20-$40. Just my .02
