I know I had a somewhat similar thread about painting door handles a few weeks ago, but I was curious if anyone here ran an auto body shop that did paint work and could tell me what a rough estimate would be for having door handles, mirror caps, tailgate handle piece, and front and back bumpershellz would be? Do these things hinge on the specific color? (as in are some color codes more expensive than others?). Or is this something that some dealerships do? I know the local Ford dealership here does not have a paint shop that I am aware of.

Edit: I can delete and move this to another board (OT maybe?) if this is the wrong spot, I just trust the ODB more with stuff like this than the OT, and they would likely refer me here anyway. Sorry to clutter the board with non-hunting stuff. Hope everyones seeing success in the woods/on the water.

color change the price goes way up

on average each fender/wing or bumper will be around $800 each

its all the labor and prep involved that gets you, the paint for each fender/wing or bumper will be around $200 of that $800 cost

to do all you listed i would guess somewhere in the $3k range to do all that and i bet the price wouldnt change all that much to just have them do a complete respray rather then spot painting stuff which is a lot more labor and time intensive to do

First. Year, make, and model.

Second. Nobody is gonna paint textured. Cheaper to buy paint to match and toss the textured.

Third. Paints differ but for the pint and a half you need, not much difference.
