Getting a spoiler painted for a reasonable cost...?
I picked up a brand new replacement wrap around stock style spoiler for my 91 TA. I checked a few places here in Fort Lauderdale and the going rate to paint/clearcoat/etc seems to be 175-200... Is that reasonable for a wing I'll be dropping off for paint and be installing myself? I've never gotten a paint job except under warranty so knowing reasonable costs isn't in my knowledgebase yet. For that fact, is a GM body shop the best place to get the paintjob done? Otherwise, any suggestions for a place here in south Florida would be appreciated.

depends on color, type number of layers etc. And the prep work, most places wanted 100 to paint my spoiler (REPO fiberglass one), which I haven't got around to doing yet, im just going to spray it myself, white is a forgiving color. But that seams reasonable for the OEM spoiler.

Mine's fiberglass as well, primered and ready to go. The color is factory black. The car will be repainted at a later time, but this wing needs to go on before that due to the old one being broken. Realistically, I want a good paint job, clearcoat, etc. I don't really want a hack job done on it just so I can put it on the car. Now to see if anyone can suggest a place down here or if I should just take it to the local GM bodyshop.
