The price depends on what kind of paint job you want. You could have a $500 one day paint job done at Meico [sic], all the way up to $ 2k-4k for a quality aftermarket look from a reputable company.

I just want a simple electric blue. no fancy bs lol so im guessin roughly 750 - 1000 for everything?? body kit + spoiler + hood = 1,000 im guessing.

What type of paint jobs cost more??? IM just trying to get the regular electric blue to match...

You'd probably have to paint the whole car if you install a new hood, kit, and spoiler because its very unlikely the paint will match. Even with the right paint color, drying temp, conditions and even the clearcoat can affect the final color of the paint. It'll look aweful if it doesn't match. A simple gloss paintjob with sanding, prep, and clearcoat from a reputable shop would probably be 1k-1.8k (not including installation of the body kit, spoiler, and hood).

An example of a more expensive paint job would be a metallic or a fade.

ouch thats a big hit on my wallet. :/ but i guess it has to be done... If i had to get a nice paint i think metallic would be my best bet. Metallic blue now how would that look under nyc street lights?
