Default paint question

hey everyone, if my taxes eventually get here i plan on ordering a harwood 2.5 cowl hood and ss spoiler for my polo green z. I'm suppose to have someone who is suppose to hook me up with a paint job but in case that falls through im just curious how much it would cost to have it painted to match... also thinking about replacing my chewed up front bumper also.... so any painters here please give me an approximate price range

if you had someone good color match the hood im guessing between 750 and 1000. if they paint the hood and blend the fenders and bumper then it could be in the 2000 range... I could be wrong tho.

Depends on wear you live, around here you could get it one for around 350-400 or get the hole car painted for about 1500 to 2000

Exactly. I had the hood painted on my Z a couple years after a cargo strap dropped on it (in the garage) and caused a nasty dent. That was $300 in Williamsburg, Va.

Right now the car is at a paint shop in Barstow, California for a 100% re-paint + some ghosted grand-sport stripes. Paint + stripes and all prep (removing dings, etc) is $2K. That # is for a factory color repaint. if I wanted a different color it would have been $2.5K+
