well my front right fender and my front bumper are flat black (thats how they come when ordered over the internet). and my car is black. I want to have the fender and bumper painted to match, what should I be expected to pay? I will take off the fender and bumper off and bring it to them. Oh yeah, its a 96 honda civic.

I made it to one shop before they closed and they said arounf $250, and they are uaually more expensive than other shops around here. Im real tight with my money so I'll see if I end up doing it or not lol

come to Florida, probally racing and car modding capital in North America. Honda has the biggest crowd around I searched for months trying to find a Civic because if you got a hold of one your most likely not selling it anytime soon. I finally found the one I wanted maybe 6 months after picking up the other Civic. They hold their value extremely good. Decent wheels and lowering will most deffinately make it sell faster as long as its not riced out with goofy body kits and mods.

By the time they seal it, scuff it, color/clear your going to spend ATLEAST 325-350..

I put some nice used rims I found in the paper today, it looks good. Im not putting any body kit or anyhintg, im not into that. so I guess I should go get it done for the $250 they told me then. or I know some people on the back of town that paint a car for $600 so I could get it done there for cheap lol
