Price to paint grille?

I've got a new grille coming in that I will be having painted to match my truck. I'm going to be getting some estimates to have the grille surround painted at a couple of local body shops. So what would be a good price for having this done? Does anyone have any prices from having this done? Thanks!

 

You can buy a new color matched one for 175, so make sure it is less than that.

 

I got the new grille for next to nothing. So I've got some room to play with. A buddy of mine who works at a body shop said he figured it would run $100-125. It seemed a little high to me, but I thought I'd get some feedback from TW.

 

From where??

 

A shop quoted me 25 dollars to paint it... but I didn't do it because it was chrome and would have prob been a half ass paint job. I just bought a color matched and now my chrome one I am satoshing and painting myself. At a really good quality paint shop they quoted me 49 dollars for a pint of silver streak mica color. So I will order that and paint the grille... along with my mirrors and bumper. But I am just going to tell him to make a gallon of it.

 

So that was $49 just for the paint?

 

I've gotten a couple grilles painted ranging from 75-125 depending on how much prep work they said was needed and if it was chrome.

 

That thought had crossed my mind, but I figure by the time I ship it both ways and the cost for him to do it, it would be more than getting it done locally.

Yeah. Just for a pint though.

 

If you have anything else that needs to be painted now would be a good time to do it.
