Anyone know approx $$$ for paint job?

Crucifer · 08-13-2008, 12:22 PM

I am considering getting the Tourenn Front Lip kit (just the front) and the VIS Techno R spoiler.

I know Celcius is probably the best to ask this of so I dropped him a PM as well.

But can anyone Appox. give me the $$$ for the cost of those 2 getting painted? I'd want them top quality professionally done with exact paint matches. (Any recommendations of places or known businesses helps too) never had to have after market painting done before.

thats gonna very widely from place to place so there is no way to give an exact amount. when i had my 05 RR civic anytime i needed something repaired or repainted i took it to a honda dealership that had a paint shop, more costly but i had an exact paint match each time. $300 to paint a whole bumper one time FYI

and just so you know celcius bought the black SI with the kit already on it so i dunno if he knows what the price was for it.

Spoke with the Honda's go to Body Shop and for an after market front end such as the Tourenn Body Kit they are saying about a 1,000+

Sounds right to anyone else?

Problem is how much? I'm contimplating asking tourenn if they'd spot the paint. LOL that'll be a fun one. Like sponsor.

***Topplayer*** · 08-13-2008, 02:26 PM

i dont know how much but i can give you a number to call if you want

Crucifer · 08-13-2008, 02:30 PM

If anything id ship it to them and have them ship it back. You may drop a # anything helps just need it to look nice on the car.

Is the front a lip or a bumper? If it's a bumper like I think it is, I'd guess $300 or so for that and $150 or so for the spoiler.

It's the Tourenn Front End...its the whole kit for the front not just a lip overlay.

I just have to go to my cousin with paint, give him a bottle of jack and $50. few days later and whatever I had big painted is ready to go.

***dcubed121*** · 08-13-2008, 11:08 PM

~250-300 per panel you have painted.

wtf does that mean? it's like saying you don't have an si so you shouldn't even post here

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.
