Painted Rally Stripes - Cost Estimates?
I know there are quite a few people that are going with painted rally stripes instead of the factory options. If you are getting them painted by the dealer or done elsewhere, what kind of price ranges are your cost estimates coming in at and are you getting just the stripes clear coated or the entire hood and trunk?
I'm torn between getting the factory option or getting them painted and am trying to figure out how much more I'm likely going to pay to get them painted. Thanks. |

Won't give me an exact quote until I get the car and they see how hard it is to make them straight on the hood but I'm looking at at least $1,500 and no more then $2,000. They are clearing the whole hood/trunk lid so you can't feel edge.

A good set of painted stripes really isn't as cheap as what people think they are. Unless you go Maico or are friends with the owner you will be hard pressed to get them done for $800.

I was thinking $1000-$1500 would be reasonable. The factory stickers are $470 but I really want mine to wrap the rear spoiler and drop about 3" down the rear of the trunk lid so I'd need to spring for a second set of rear stickers to get the look I want. I'm good with the look of the front stripes and would probably have my front stripes painted the same way.
If I get them painted, I haven't quite decided yet if I want a metallic white or pearl white or black granite metallic (think '09 Malibu black). I've finally decided that Victory Red is the right color for me so now I've got to pick stripe colors. |

interesting. that does seem like a lot. But I agree with your tastes rolnslo. The stripes should have gone further, and down over the back of the care. Almost incomplete.

1200 - 1500 for me
Paint shop is removing front end, hood, rear deck lid and spoiler and painting each entire piece.

My dealer's paint dept. says $1200 with clear coat. I'm going with the heavy stripe and pin stripe around the outside.

ok 1000 is reasonable for painted stripes now the question is that if you get them painted will you do them like Bumble bee long?
