ok ive been calling all kinds of body shops around where i live localy and theyve been giving me overpriced prices
i need to paint:
Front bumper
Hood
Rear bumper
both side skirts
just oem paint..base coat and clear coat...."Silver frost"
how much do you guys think it should cost to repaint those items silver. these body shops have been telling me from $1000-$1500 which i think is really over priced.

Just get the whole car repainted, in whatever color you want.

no that I have looked into it but I don't see why that isn't a fair price, that is near 50% of the car and there would be alot of prep work to do

That's a damn good price IMO.
I paid $1,000 to have a fiberglass hood sanded, filled and repainted OEM paint (previous owner did a crappy job).

I filled in the prices that I have paid. $640 then add another 2-300 for the hood. $1000 seems very fair to me.

It would have to be blended into the rest of the body to look right...no matter who mixes it, the silver will not match.
That's a very fair price.

Wait are you getting 3 coats? Like a primer, base and a clearcoat? If so, and you prep it yourself, I believe you can get it for around $800 maybe, and even less if you pay cash? These guys love cash.
