Make friends with someone in a real body shop so you can get a good deal on a paint job that will last. Stay far, far away from Maaco. Make sure they sand and prime them as well as paint them otherwise the paint will flake off.

I have the erebuni CF reverse cowl hood. I have a buddy that painted 2/3 of it and a new fender. The paint and clear coat costed $150 and he charged me $50 labor. Based on that, I would plan on close to $100 on paint/clear and then around a $100 or so on labor

It should be around 55.00 to 75.00 bucks. It would take about 30 to 45 min. start to finish

It will be a bit more expensive but you should just buy prepainte sideskirst from the factory. THey're about $200. This way they come with a nice factory paint. Instead of paying 100-150 to do a repaint.

This is definately the best option. PM one of the factory vendors in the Vendor For Sale section, they'll hook you up (that's what I did at least).

About $200 for my Blaze Yellow - professionally sand, flex primer, and many coats of paint + clear coat. I don't want them chipping down the road, and there weren't any OEM painted Blaze Yellow sides available.

Haha. That's funny considering factory Subaru paint is total garbage :lol: Almost any repaint would be better than Subaru quality.

I had mine painted for 50 bucks from my auto body place where I live but I have given this guy tons of business over the years with different cars.

I don't want to change the direction of this thread, but does anyone know around what a quality job for both bumpers would cost?

Don't you have to get special paint for the side skirts that can move with the abs plastic without cracking?
