Ok guys and girls. I know some of you are wondering and have asked: How much to have a body kit painted and installed. So here you go. Now this isnt for every shop out there but from my experience. Now a days 99.9% of all body kite need to be fitted to the car first. So this means that the removal of all oem parts that are to be replaced with a body kit. Once all parts are removed properly, the new body kit pieces will need to be installed. In order to install some trimming maybe requiered to fit these parts on car. Once you have installed now its time to remove. After removal it is time to mask up car around all seems of the car only. Then reinstall all body kit pieces. After installed, mix your filler to be added along all seems. This ensure a tight and snug fit to the car. Remove body kit and sand all filler smooth and even. refit entire kit and recheck all seems to make sure you didnt remove to much fill. Now add a guide coat of prime and block out. This will show where there are high and low spots. Fill all low spots and sand down all high spots. After reprimer all parts with a high fill prime and wetsand to a 800 grit finish. Now parts are ready to be cleaned and de-greased and painted. set up stands to hold parts in place and coat with 3 part adhesive promoter. When dry spray with a sealer. When dry start laying down you layers of base coat. When base coat flashes spray with a clear coat. Keep laying clear untill you have reached the desired amount of layers of clear. Allow parts to dry and then wet sand and buff. Now you can do the final install of body kit. Wow a lot of work. Well if done right! So now your wondering how much. Depending how much work is need to straighten and seem kit will determine final price. So this is the range I tell people $1500-$2500 Time needed is determined the same way. So it will vary 7-14 WORKING Days! Quality doesnt come cheap and being cheap doesn't get you quality!
thats right, but i think mine was about 3g's worth of work. so it can get up there and good work is not cheap.
yeah well you forgot to mention the 2 tone and the molding in of your sides. i would have charged $3500-$4000 for your car and that doesnt include the wrecked parts or wheels or the price of the kit.
