painted cervinis side scoops

i got price quotes for the cervinis lower side scoops
the frist guy said 130 but he said the paint might come off cause the scoops were very oily
the second guy told me 125 and sounded alot more confident saying that ill have some kinda warranty like money back


im gonna go with the second guy nice shop and he has alot of experience
I think these prices are a little higher then i expected

My uncle and cousin are professional painters. When they painted my Cervinis 1/4 window scoops, they said they were a PITA to paint correctly because of the materials used. Maybe your side scoops will be different, but they told me they would have charged about $175 to paint the window scoops.

Pain In The A** = PITA
Experienced painters don't have "Trouble" getting the paint to stick. They prepare the type of material accordingly before they paint it.
These are a little harder because of the material, but I have seen too many done that look excellent, so forget the first guy's opinion.

Mine are getting done for $125 and that's upper and lower so I'm happy with that price.

My painter also said that my Cervini's side skirts and rear lip were a PITA because of the great amount of release agent used in the process of making the urathane pieces.

I'm getting my Cervini's 1/4 scoops painted as well. Costing me about $200. Due to the fact that there are pin holes in the scoop's material. The scoops have to have multiple layers of primer then sanded before they go to paint. Either this way or have pin holes in the paint. I think I'll go the first route.
