Default What can I expect to pay

I am currently awaiting the arrival of my rear and chin spoiler for my Torch red Vette. What can I expect to pay to have them prepped and painted Torch red. I have not decided if I will let the body shop do the install or do it myself. I have never had this type of work done so I have no idea what to expect.

I paid $150 to have my front splitter painted but I primed, sanded and prepped it myself. Not sure if that helps but there ya go.

I would say around 250-300 to have them painted.

Price all depends on the bodyshop and the area. For instance I just paid $300 for a hood to be painted, down south people are paying $150 for the same hood to be painted.

It also depends on how much prep is involved in those pieces.

I would say $300 or so would be a good bet.

Thanks for the replies. I was guessing around $300 and I seem to be in the right ball park.

$300 does sound about right. Good luck - they should look good on your car.
