Painting louvers

I just ordered a pair of Cervini louvers for my 2006GT.
I'll have to get them painted, since I can't do it myself. I live in southeast Florida, in Boca Raton (where everything is expensive).
Anyone care to estimate what a reasonable price would be for painting them, either at an auto body shop, or perhaps a dent and scratch place?
I got a price of $60-$100(max) at a local auto body shop where I had some work done on my wife's car. They did a VERY good job. I would go there if this seems like the going rate for the job. I even think I can get him to install them at no extra charge.
Thanks in advance.
Jay

Actually an awesome price is the 60 cause if consider paint and labor it takes to make sure it shines with the rest if the car I would charge 80 my self with installation ... But I make it look mirror finish

Jay , I live in the same area as you and that sounds like good price. I use First Class in Pompano , they do all of Steeda's painting , but they are expensive. I'm sure they would want $150 per side or more ...

Finally!!

I finally got the Cervini Louvers painted and installed on my 06GT. One of the local shops, that has done work for me previously, painted and installed them. His final, out the door price was $80.00!!!!
They look great, the paint job is awesome. I couldn't be more pleased. It sure is nice to do business with people that aren't looking to rake you over the coals. I brought them the louvers last week, and the car yesterday, and picked it up this morning.
I am one happy camper!!!
Kudos to Cervini for producing a nice product (they needed some sanding before painting, nothing unexpected), and triple kudos to Classic Auto Collision on N.E 6th ave. in Delray Beach, Fl. for a perfect paint job and a neat install!!
