I want to know how much I should Expect to have my M-tech kit painted. I can't wait any longer!!
I can install it myself, and I'm sure most of the shops paint the kit OFF the car....
I live in the East Bay. Where should I Take it?

I have the kit.. I just need paint.. Plus the price I've got is far better than eurorev.. Even with the first quote I got on painting.
My mistake, i should have read the thread slower. I thought you didn't have the kit yet. $900 from sonic is a great price, plus sonic ms is a reputable vendor on e60.net

My side skirts are being painted now, and I am dropping the rear bumper off on Thursday to get it done also. I have a friend who is doing it for me a really good price with me supplying the paint. I have done alot of the prep work on the bumper so it should just need a quick rub with a pad, god I cant wait to get it on the car. 
I was too chicken to try painting with waterbased paint + my mate is a professional with paintwork he used to do it for a living + he is a decent guy who wont rip you off....

Finally decided to pull the trigger, huh?
I'd check umnitza.com first and foremost - people on this forum appear very happy with their kits...
