For comparison, a set of factory flares cost me $300 to have painted.

I thought the price I got quoted was high also but I got 2 different quotes and they were both right there with yours.
I got quoted 1200 for 5 handles, pinchweld covers, mirror caps, grill surround, and tailgate.
Price includes installation of 5 handles.

seems about right. maybe a little high.. maybe get them to do the doorhandles for the same price if they aren't already done.

LOL of course you need some if Shone already has them.

Type of material used, and painting process can affect cost and quality quite a lot. I had my bumpers sand blasted, and powder coated the closest possible color before they were painted, so when, not if the paint chips, it chips into the "same" color, and doesn't rust. There's no way that process is included for $1200 unless they're paying you for the opportunity to work on your truck. Lots of corners can be cut by body shops to meet a quote, but if you want a high-end job, be sure to explain it when you ask for a quote, otherwise the can of economy paint gets used, and primer gets skimped or skipped.

LOLYou know I love you, mike :grouphug: I do like the pinch weld covers too. I wish I could follow what you guys have going for your builds a little closer, but from what I know, it is definitely going in a direction I'm a fan of :toast:

I imagine on a stock emblem its a epoxy filler that's sanded, buffed, blah blah blah. I doubt they would have used body mud for something like that . Either way, you could always have a set machined blank if you wanted. Me personally, that looks terrible

I'll be getting these soon
I wonder what kind of epoxy. Machining blank plates isn't an option. I'm using Harley vents, chump.

Good question. I imagine you wouldn't want anything that would setup to hard that you could work with it. You could hit your local paint guy up about it, maybe they would have some ideas.
Billet badges could incorporate your Harley vents into something custom. You just have to loosen up your grip on those greenbacks, my Jewish friend.
