just looking to get the hood scoop painted on my SS, what would be a good price to look for? i've never paid anyone to do paint work on my car so i don't want to get taken advantage of.

I think vinyls are just as good, but paint should not be more than $250.

i have the vinyl and plan to keep the back on, but nothing beats the look and shine of paint. and i am also looking forward to getting the inner parts of the scoop black as well.

I would think 200-250 at a good shop.

I went to the best paint shop in my town to see about getting one painted on my SS.. He actually talked me into getting vinyl. I had vinyl on my last SS and I must admit it looked great but I wanted the stripe painted on my new one to make it look semi factory, I haven't done either just yet, i'm afraid if I have it painted on, I won't like it and it'll be too late. Vinyl you can take off if you don't like it, that's a huge benefit of vinyl. But onto your question, it should cost $200-250 I would imagine, let us know how much it is if you do it!!
