Sinister Hood - Paint estimate - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So I ordered the Sinister hood today for my 2012 Camaro finally. :headband:

The shop basically said no way to quote without seeing the hood - to evaluate prep/ paint time. I just want to have a ballpark idea and make sure I don't get taken advantage of.

From what I've seen Sinister hoods have been overall a very decent hood requiring only a little elbow grease. Anyone that's put this on their car have any recommendations or figures for me?

Thanks.

I would bank on about $800 total for fitting/prepping and painting from a GOOD shop. Don't skimp on the paint job, its not worth the hassle.

It's a good shop I've used before that comes with a lifetime warranty on their work. I was thinking somewhere between 5-700, so I'll hope for that but focus on the quality of their work. I appreciate it guys.
