depends on who does it and how good they are. I would expect to spend a minimum of 400 to 500 for them to be done fairly well. can you get it done cheaper? probably.. will it look bad? probably..

yeah i figured it would cost that much for just those 4 pieces, a full body paint would cost over 1.5k if its good.

It varies by shop and color.

Maaco will probably do it for ~$100.

A real, quality shop may charge north of $600.

have them painted before you put them on so there wont be as much prep work required before they paint it. so many people put their body kits on before they are painted and they take alot longer to clean and prep for paint which of corse will bump up the price for the job. time=$$

also depends on how good of quality they were made to begin with...fiberglass ones will almost always need to be reshaped hence fitting them to car before painting..urythane usually fits like OEM..i dont know about maaco they told me they dont deal with body kits...the cheapest place ive found that will paint our body kit was 250 for prep and paint...but that didnt include attaching and fitting the kit to the car...another reason why we put ours on first to see how jacked up it will be and why we are now getting a urythane front to replace the fiberglass front

theres a difference between fitting them and testing fitment and actually installing them and driving around though.

Yeah...to get a professional paint job on those 4 pieces, and for it to look really nice will cost around $800...or atleast that's how much the body shop I work at would probably charge. If you sand it yourself, it won't be as much. To prep it, all you need is a red scotch brite pad or 2, and just scuff them until they aren't shiny any more. That's how it's done everywhere...except Maaco...I doubt they even sand their shit. Dont' Go Maaco...please.
