Adding up my work.........

Could someone tell me how much I would expect someone to repaint my car red? and also, how much would they charge to put on rear,front,and side skirts?

depends on quality of the job, whether you're keeping your original paint or changing colors.. body kits.. dunno about pricing.. usually over 1000 for a complete kit.. for mounting, probably not over 300 if there isn't retrofitting to be done (which is hard to come by on protege body kits). also if you need body work.. ie dings, scratches, a primer coat.. what have you, will obviously be extra. you could spend as little as 300 for an 'ambassador' paint job at maaco, but the paint job will only last a year or so before it starts to fade. it's really dependent on the condition of your car, the complications mounting of your body kit, and the kind of work the shop produces.
peace

In all honesty, he's right. It is going to cost much more than $5k to do all these things (to do them well, anyway) and since you seem to need to have things done by other people, it's going to run you even more.

My advice, learn to get your hands dirty or prepare to get bent over by the local shops.

Every shop will have a different price, Why don't you go get quotes?
