Snow White, aka the snowmobile. I think it'll look good. Ying and Yang bring some balance to the murdered out look. haha

Of course it can be done. Find a good shop and they will have no problem painting plastic. Adhesive promoter first and flex additive in the paint will help.

If you are going to paint the front fascia I would consider a new bumper cover first. It will look cleaner than having your setup painted. They aren't that expensive. Cost of painting is usually a factor but you are painting anyhow.

so what do you think is a good price for all this?

I know you are wanting a price on all this, but the best way to really find out is to take your rig to a couple of shops and get some quotes. Unless somebody here works at a shop it's hard to say what the cost of the job will be. Someone from California on this board can tell you that it'll cost 200.00, and then when you go to your shop locally they may charge you 100.00...who knows. Go to a couple of shops, get some quotes and look at the jobs they've done. That would be the best way to get some price ranges, IMO.

i hear you bro, i was just wondering if anyone had a round about number so i have some idea.

It can be done for sure. I did the same thing to my Denali. I have everything that was black painted white on it. I think as others have said the cost will vary greatly on the quality of work you get done and where you have it done at also. Heres a link to my Denali The Denali

1-2k is probably pretty close to what it would cost. I know all the paint work I have had done on my Denali is around there.

found out i can get in the paint booth on base for free. they have a paint techs that will do it free. basically just have to take the pieces off and buy the paint!!!
