Well its though to give you a straight out answer. Differant shops charge differantly, and it also depends on the color of paint and what type of paint and what all they are doing. Just painting it no fitting, alignment, or blending. (a couple hundred). Now you get into sertain paints (such as reds or specialties) and blending into panels and fitting and aligning, and its just gonna go up from there.
P.S. They don't charge you just to give you a quick gesstamate if you go to a shop, just go check out some places and ask around, you'll find the best deal if you dig a bit.

it will definetly be more than "a couple hundred" I'd say at least 400 up to 800 depending on the job. You MIGHT be able to get a 1 stage(clear built in) poopty maaco job for closer to 200. And from what I hear the sides need to be modified to fit right, so you'll have to shoot at least those, if not the whole kit, with primer filler, then sealer, then color, then clear coat. That poop adds up fast. I'd easily spend 200 just on the paint for my color.

the voice of experience speaks
you get what you pay for , fitting a f/g body kit is not a easy task and they are never perfect
every shop labor rates will differ the products will differ
but in closing i personally can not give you a "online estimate"
so this thread is locked go get a estiamte from a shop
:worthless:

Sound is right in price when i say a couple hundred I really mean about 4 or 5, ive always done that and forget that most ppl (normal ones) thing of 2 as being a couple.
The main factor is the color and to what extent you want them done. and yea things do start to add up fast.
yea sound if you are talking about the paint for your alero in the pic i can easily see spending 200 or just paint. the red i used to paint a customers monte cost 126 for a pint!
