How much to paint the moldings?

[tingzilla]

Any clue guys? I have heard prices ranging from $100 to $400?? I want good quality paint job. Anything I need to be aware of?

I have heard that unless you are careful removing the side mouldings, you can put bends into them and break the mounting clips. Some have even bought a new set of side mouldings and clips so they don't have to worry about it.

The front and rear simply snap off...

thanks Marvel.

I saw bimmian.com selling a new whole set of moldings and professionally painted for $549. (A new set of black moldings from BMW is around $250) I find such price to be fair because I want the highest quality for everything I add to my car.

Is it possible to paint the mouldings without taking them off??
