Default Paint work now?

Hello again! New guy here...again.

I ordered a set of side ground affects and front splitter piece (ground effect). I need to get those pieces painted Torch Red along with a front plate cover I'm modifying to have the Z06 style grill in it. Any local shops that do a nice job for a nice price? You guys were very helpful with the exhaust question so I thought I'd see about paint work. Thanks in advance!

Brian

I have a friend that is a body guy this would be a good side project for him. I used to work with him at a chevy dealer and he does really nice work. I will pm you his number.

I just got all of the pieces finally. Any idea what I'd be looking at for price to get them prepped/painted/installed on a '99? The pieces are below. Thanks everyone!

Front spoiler (ACI)
Side ground effects (ACI)
