bought paint and did it myself for 120. I also have paint guns. so maybe not accurate.

Do it yourself though! It's a good skill to have for if/when the shopping cart feels up your car.

Probably got hook up. I had my front lip and rear painted for like 80 bucks by a friend's buddy. Took him two days but match perfectly.

Every shop i ask quoted me 400 to 600 for paint and install.

Any good body shop will charge you about $100 per part for prep and paint.

The price will differ depending on where you are in the world... and unless you got a hook up at a body shop its kinda expensive (here in nor cal)... every place I went to told me 250 - 300 just for a front lip... now I'm sure it would be a bit cheaper for each piece to get a whole kit painted... the starfire pearl color cost more bec of the pearl in it...

Your best bet is to get a paint code or bring a touch-up paint from the dealer. Most experience painter will mix the paint so the color comes out perfectly.
