Mugen Spoiler paint question

[BlackCivic07]

hey,
after calling up a bunch of places, i found one person willing to paint and install my mugen replica spoiler on my nhbp sedan for 150$
is that a reasonable price?
or am i being ripped off?
thanks in advance!

Seems low to me, actually.

I don't know the exact condition of your part. but assuming bare material I would expect such a job (done right) to involve at least 4-5 hours of labor to go from bare part to installed on the car (figure prep, prime, sand, prep, multiple coats of paint, clearcoat, then actually install the wing on the car).

$30/hr for skilled labor seems to be a bit on the low side to me, but I don't really know the going rate for body work.

I think the better question is, do you feel the quality of work they'll produce is worth $150?

It could be a killer deal if it's a quality job, or a total ripoff if it's done with Krylon and nails.

Look at other work they've done, and then decide.

i say its worth a try...pretty low price for a paint job to me...

[I Vtec, do you?]

If it's a reputable shop, I'd do it. Cheapest I could get was $135 painted, and the place that gave me that quote is notorious for low-balling their estimates and then jacking up the price afterwards and not giving you your ish back until you pay. Nearly every other shop said "about $200", and that's just for paint.

its not a shop thats painting it, its guy who works at a job that paints on the side
he seems pretty professional, hes done plenty custom paint jobs on entire cars....but thanks, im gona go ahead and give it a shot and hope it turns out good lol
