Default How much does paint cost?

I have a CME valance that i plan on painting in the near future but i dont know how much i need to plan on spending on paint and primer. Would anybody please be kind enough to give me an estimate? Input is appreciated greatly! The color is NBM if it makes a difference, ive never dealt with paint before.

It will probably be more cost effective for you just to have a body shop paint it for you. Assuming the piece is in good shape with no mold marks or anything like that. They'll have less cost and less waste in materials but charge for the labor. You'll have to buy the paint, reducer, clear, and hardener and you'd only be able to get certain amounts. which would be more than you need. Chances are the quality of the job would be better at a legitimate shop as well and you could avoid a potential headache.

Hope this helps!

That will actually probably be a better route to go with, thank you for the advice.
