[dl_yeunuoc]

WTF. $600 ?

[phobs]

600 is way too much, can anyone in the San Diego area refer a paint shop?

I had mine painted for $230 and I installed it myself.

Wow, that's not so bad. Would you mind telling me where you had it paint at? Thanks.

Welcome to NICO! Did you sign up just to ask me that question?

I'm seeing more and more Houstonians on here now. NICE! Maybe we should have a meet sometime.

I had mine painted at Maaco when they had the special bumper paint deal for $129.99. I don't know if it's still going on or not. After adding a good clear coat, environmental fees, disposal fees, etc. it came out to be about $230.

There was a discussion a while back about how some members do not like Maaco, but my experience was good. They did a great job at color matching on my Code Red that you can't tell a difference between the OEM paint and the new bumper. I've been driving with the new Stillen front fascia for almost 3 months now and still looks as good as the day it was done. So far no chips, no cracks, no heroin, no cocaine

A local shop told me around 400.

[psi101101]

haha more houstonians.. yeah i went to maaco and they said about 350 for paint, and 135 for installment depending on how hard it is... so i said.. then stomped out the door..lol..

so uhh.. anywhere else??

whats the range, any moderators wanna join in??

[adidas2go]

a quality paint job should cost around $400

[psi101101]

oh god, painting the fascia alone costs some green.. more then i imagined..how much would it be to get it installed??

[adidas2go]

free

Install it yourself. It comes with instructions, its easy.

Got a quote that repainted my friends Camaro (red) at about $500.

I trust their paint because I saw them working on a couple high end cars as I went back and forth talking to them (North OC)

however I wound up just installing the fascia myself and getting it painted as the rest of my car was repaired (after my crash) for about 300.

It's been about 3 or 4 months and it looks good except for the scrapes from my driveway

sorry about the long post

I went to Maaco to have them repaint my front fascia and hood from my old car and there were drips on the end of the hood and swirls from overspray!!

[phobs]

I hope I don't have to deal with that when I get my parts painted.

Completely depends. Not all Maaco shops are the same. I believe they are franchised, so its really the quality of the workers and experience. I know the Maaco I go to was not always a Maaco, and they do great work and the Owner has been doing it for 20+ years. Its all about the prep for the urethane pieces though. Its not necessary the quality of the paint. When I went there I told the guy that this part is urethane, and he already knew how to prep it even before I handed him the instructions, its all about experience, painting is an art.

Also, when you get their cheapest paint job that is only like 200 or 300 bucks, what do you expect. They do not do any primer or sanding of old paint as far as I know, so even if they used OEM paint it would still chip. Nissan has the benefit of being the first to prime and paint the vehicle.

[Rmuth25]

Back to the original topic, I don't have the fascia, but I got my lip prepped painted and clear coat for 127 bucks. So as some have said, anything over 350-400 dollars for the fascia is probably a ripoff.

[Leoltima]

im glad my buddy has been painting cars for 20 years....haha,he'll do mines for free he said.

[phobs]

Hook it up

[Dwightx3]

any one from Cali? if so, how much would it cost to paint it Dark Slate?

[Bmore-coupe]

local shop charged me $465 to Paint my Stillen Fascia, rockers, rear corners and engine cover. $600 is way too much for just the fascia. (oh and that price also included installation)
