Painting License Plate Cover Cost?
i just got a license plate cover off of ebay for $21 shipped, but its white. How much do you guys think a local shop would charge? i would do it myself with my buddys equipment, but i dont know if buying the paint and other materials will be worth just painting that one piece.

Your color may not be so hard to match, back when I bought a plate cover off ebay I had to repaint it...well I found some GM SOM (matched paint codes) on ebay from a seller that sells car paints..etc...well it was far from SOM so if you think about buying some off ebay use caution...your probably better off getting someone to do it. I want to get mine done again but in the same boat as you as far as prices go and if someone can actually get a good SOM match.
^How mine turned out with SOM rattle can paint....
