Paint job estimate?
 
Alright so there is a little bit of paint fading off on the front fascia and around the side exhaust body kit. I was just wondering how much getting jsut the front fasica painted would be and if i should do it at a local shop or get it done by ford or something.

I just had the bumper on the cobra repainted a few months ago and it was $275.

call some local paint places prices vary soo much its a crap shoot.

Ryan 06-12-2007 11:22 AM

wow i went down to a local car shop and the estimate is $776. Because they would have to take apart the bumper and the fog lights and that rite there is around $352 just to get that crap taken off and put back on. Im about to take it off myself and jsut have them paint it and then i'll put it back on myself if its difficult. To me $776 is bullshit.

2 bolts on each side to the fenders, pop the fog lights out, and there are two tabs under the headlights, and the two bolts on top if its a 99-04
