Reasonable cost for painting

[blacksab2]

I had a local aftermarket shop quote me $250 to paint 4 fender flares to match my truck.....This sounds kinda high to me considering there isint much surface to paint....Anyone have an idea of what price painting 4 fender flares should cost?

that seems a bit steep considering gmpartsdirect.com has it listed for 250 for indigo flares in indigo blue:

 

12496423

All

BLUE INDIGO REAR FLARE

1

$121.80

 

12496422

All

FRONT BLUE INDIGO FLARE

1

$121.80

 

 

Before you go over there and order them check w/ www.partszoneonline.com He's got competitive prices and you should save over them on shipping costs.

I figured that sounded high priced.....I also notice the GM flares you quoted....Are those part numbers a set or are they each?.....I'm guessing they are a set because I would figure they would have 4 part numbers seperating left and right sides...If I can get all 4 GM flares for $250 already painted, the #### with Bushwacker!!...hahaha....

that's for the pair (left and right side)  I say go for those, the price is good.

No doubt......Why would I spend $600 when I can get GM ones for $250!...I'm willing to bet the finish and color match will be better from GM than having an aftermarket shop paint them....

Thats what I paid for mine, $250, right from the dealer I got my truck from. They bolt on in about 15 mins, look great.

I imagine the fit is perfect being they are from GM.....Did they come painted for $250?...How good is the paint finish?....Did it match the color of the truck well?

[Redapple]

The fit was okay. I thought it would be somewhat better than it was being a GM and all, but it did require some minor "Tweaking". They did come painted, and the quality is good. They match the truck perfectly. I will try to post a picture of my truck in the next few days.
