Default CME Valance painting

Looking to convert my borlamouth to a CME setup out back. Will probably get the 6LE Valance with OEM style tips. For those that have done the conversion, what did you pay to get your valance painted and mounted? Not looking to get it blended. Want to make sure I'm not getting hosed by the local body shops. Thanks!

Mods,
Sorry, this should have probably been posted in the paint & body section. Feel free to move.

Usually $100-$300 depending on the area. All it takes is basic filler (for urethane pin holes) and then base coat clear coat.

You could always run it as is and paint it later. I never even painted mine lol.
