I'm guessing you want it tinted? Use some nightshade that people use to black out their lights, side markers etc. As far as a colored tint, I'm not sure if nightshade comes in that variety.

You would probably have to buy a plate cover with the color tint on there already. It would also help if you put the details of your car in your sig. Make/model/COLOR/mods etc.

Im sorry, i think my question is being misunderstood. I own this:

I want to take it to an auto body shop and have them paint it red and clearcoat it.

I just wonder what i would be charged for that

I figured you were talking about that. My guess is no more than $75 total. I had a friend that got his done for $50. But, this wasn't blended in. He just dropped it off to them. What color is the car?

I don't know how it is in your state, but in IL: plate covers are illegal and front plates are required, so I say you sport it without the front plate if covers are illegal. I thought you were talking about a rear cover, but those are illegal here too.

Thanks for the link to the cover, though, never knew those existed
