Bring it to a body shop and get estimates on paint price and fitment repairs, painting a car/parts is not as easy as people think if you want it done right just bring it to a body shop and save yourself the hassle to paint the car/parts you would need a strong air compressor, paint guns, paint supplies, paint, etc....and a lot of patience if its your first time and just for the supplies and tools your looking at almost 2k+ including a compressor I'm talking about quality parts/tools not the cheap stuff they sell at pepboys.

Yeah painting is very expensive on your own. But most places (at least around me) will not put on a bodykit, and one more custom place I found was charging 700 for the install, and the prices went crazy! when it came to blending the kit.
The install I not all that hard with a little patience, but painting go professionally. Macco is cheap and (ask around) most are decent places
