I just purchased the accolade evo 7 extreme kit...it looks really good and i cant wait to get it so i can but it on my car...any body knows how much i will have to pay if i paint the full kit including the hood and spoiler

 

We do paints here in CA at that ACCOLADE usa facility, talk to Kareem..

 

i asked for a quote to do my fb,rb,ss, and hood and the guy said it'd be about $400 for all prepping, priming, and painting and for him to buy the paint (cause he can get a discount for being a painter).

 

You are looking at 1000 bucks... painting and fitting in a professional body shop the only reason I am holding from getting a kit

 

This guy is a newbie... I don't think he knows who Kareem is

 

Can we get a general price quote then for painting one of the accolade kits? I imagine it'd be about the same price for all the kits. I'd be seriously interested in it if price is reasonable.

 

Est cost

4 Piece Kit (front bumper, side skirts, rear bumper) = $450-$500

Hood = $250-$350

Spoiler = $65-$85

Est. Total: $765.00 - $935.00

 

If you're gonna reach almost 1000 dollars for the kit. Man, what I would do is look for some body shop that offers $1500 to paint the whole car. If you live here in my area or close to my area, I will charge you $500 for the whole car.hehe. It's better that way, it's not only the kit but the entire car. By that, you will have a new great looking paint.

 

that's bull****...the guy that i went to said about $400 for paint and painting fb, ss, rb, and hood. all of it for $400. don't count on what people say on here for prices...call someone who does painting and find out.

 

Whole car and kit for $500 gunna have to keep that in mind :P

 

gotta keep in mind prices differ in paint process, materials, labor time and quality [how many coats of primer? clear? paint?] last i had my civic hatch painted i paid over 2k for the paint job! yep...i had it done by a original low rider shop here in east LA top quality work no corner untouched and used all PPG products got a nice candy apple red paint job with gold under it to give it a sparkle and darker/browner red rather than a bright red color. paint process took about a month.

 

Maaco (Might as well paint it yourself with rattle cans) = $300 for the whole car

Crappy Body Shop X = $600 for the whole car

Awesome Body Shop Y = $1400 for the whole car


As Vince (DriftRunSir) said, depends on materials used and how much of it as well as labor price and quality.

 

thank you guys for the help...i will post pics in less than two months when i get the kit installed

 

I heard of that MAACO offering a 300 dollar paint for the whole car a while ago. Is that really true?

 

It's true, i had an old car painted there before i gave it to someone. It did not include ANY body-fill or extra prep, and it started totally falling apart (the paint) after about 1 1/2 years. CR*P
