Body Kit paintjob pricing

[dyss]

Hey guys,

was wondering how much some of you paid to have your body kits painted? in so cal... so if you have any suggestions on shops let me know.

i have a nismo v2, ing+1 skits and rear and im trying to find out how much im gonna have to drop to get these painted after i get back from afghanistan. they're gonna be two-tone mainly white though. the skirts will be all white.

thanks in advance,

will

I don't live in Cali but I would recommend that when you find a reputable shop & if you own a PPW Z....the color match is going to be very difficult....it will take a awesome paint shop to do your parts close to PPW color match perfection. Make sure you have written in your contract that the paint job has to be guaranteed.

damn.. ok

do you know on average how long a good/reputable shop takes to do those pieces?

say if they didn't have any prior projects.

I usually call ahead & then take the car or parts in for an estimate...they give me a date to bring in the parts & its usually a day for painting & I would go in the next day...I installed my v1 lip & side skirts with help from my buddy but the body shop did install my rear deck wing & that was like a two or three day job for painting & install but like I said you need advance scheduling. Also make sure you describe in detail exactly what you want painted....don't take nothing for granted.

not to thread jack or anything, but i also have ppw aswell!

i was going to swap my front bumper for a used one, cause my current one has some damage.

do you think the color will match?

the bumper i am buyings used is also PPW and has about the same year and milage as my car.

thanks

You should be ok because its factory painted...the color code for the PPW is QX1

yeah i figured there would be some discoloration involved... i was also considering going a whole new color anyways. i love white and all but im getting bored with it. i was considering a red, not sure which though. and i know thats gonna be a nice chunk of change (not sure how much) but we shall see (ideas?).
