Can anybody tell me roughly how much it will cost to paint my side moulding and the bottom piece on the sides of my 1998 SI

I also got a small dent so Ill factor that in. Also if anybody knows a good shop in the westend that will do it.

Jugglez

Do it yourself. It's not very difficult, the hardest part is getting the damn things off. HAHA! If you screw up then take it to a body shop.

Shokker

Not funny, Duy! You're only laughing cause you did it on my car and almost destroyed them!

Hey it's not my fault Honda redesigned them after '96. the 5th gens are so easy. Ah well, you gotta learn somehow right?

imported_DesiSpeed

no id rather have a professional do it....still u guys havent helped any estimates

Most bodyshop can do it, just walk into any of them and get a quote, relatively easy task, since Shokker and Jugglez able to get them done themselves (somehow)

If you really want to save $, take the moulding out yourself and drop them off. They should get them all painted for about $100~150 maybe

But if you let them do it, they will charge you $50/side labour just to remove the mouldings.

It is pretty easy to remove the mouldings, you don't need brutal force, just remove the inside door panels and squeeze those tapping screws and they will pop out.

How bout me, duy, asim and dave do it for ya... $20/person.. so that'll cost just a mere $80!

100-150 for painting the side moldings, nah man, thats way too much!

i'd say 70 max, at a good body shop ( nothing fancy )!

I remembered shokker quoted for mouldings, mirrors and skirts for like $500??, Shokker, can you comfirm this?

imported_ReDmAn

How do you take out the other 2 sides of the moldings. The ones on the quarter panels?

imported_v33k

Remove the rear side lining



gain access to the panel then remove the moulding from inside

Shokker

I can't remember EXACTLY what my quote was, but Julie from SpoilersTO said something like 250 for the skirts and 150 for the mirrors I think.. Or something like that.. But when she told me that, my face was like: ..

Look around, call body shops, I think Junior had a good hook or something through work, I can't remember..

Shokker

Junior does have a good hook up.
but the bodyshop dude is in Hong Kong now.

Here is a mail I sent to Julie a while back.

Hope it helps

Hi Aaron, is the urethane wing a 3 pc? 150
paint mirrors 120
sides 265
bumper...is this an oe bumper? about 225.

These parts will be primed before painting, and we are familiar with adhesion on different materials. With your car being a 94, we should do a scan for colour match as red fades more than any other colour.
Thanks, Julie

Got it done professionaly from a guy who does it on the side. He does good work...the CRX you see in my car's reflectioopn was paited by the same guy. Hes in a small town called Paris...it's a ways from Toronto area...but if anyone is interested I can provide info.
