Default What should I expect to pay? (Color-match)

I know, I know.. I should have bought an FX2 or FX4. However, I got a great deal on my truck. I am looking to turn all of the chrome on my truck Oxford White. This would include front bumper, grille, handles, and back bumper. Anyone done this (not plasti-dipping) from a body shop? If so, what should I expect to pay?

my guess would be $2800 for the labor of removing the parts, sanding, priming, base, clear, reinstallation.

Also depends where you live. I had to get my front bumper and fender repaired and repainted on my 2013 Sterling Gray mustang and paid like 980 with a $200 discount. So normally 1180.

I mean it will honestly depend but I am guessing upper 1000s.

At my last shop that my ex friend still works at, they charge like $600 for grille and both bumpers. Handles would maybe bring it up to $8-900.

But honestly it depends on where you are, and then don't stop there. Shop around to different shops.

Painting can be very expensive, so shop around. I had my Ranch Hand bumper replacement painted, and that cost just under $400.
