Are you looking for paint only, and you're going to put it on yourself? I had the entire Touren Kiet preped, painted & put on paint the hood lines, and wheels, for $2k. Everything was flawless and matched perfectly like it came from the factory.
Knowing the condition my kit came in unpainted, i would not recomend having Touren paint the kit and send it. While the kit fits pretty good, it still needs some work to get the lines perfect, not to mention pin holes and cracks in the fiberglass that need to be filled in.
I'd suggest you call around & get a reputable shop in your area, drop it off for a few days and let them test fit and prep the front end prior to painting.

My guess is you'd probably be looking at around $500-800 depending on the shop's experiance in fiberglass work to get the job done and have it look good.
