Costs to paint the chrome on the G???

Guys,

I am not good when it comes to taking cars apart or painting so the DIY route is def. not an option. Just curious to get your take on what a resonable price would be to have a paint shop paint the chrome on my G? (grill, window surrounds, and chrome on the trunk) How much??

Also if i ask them them to paint the headlights and tails is this common or is there some special trick to it? Would any body/paint shop know what to do? How much would that cost as well??

I have a 2011 moolight white g37s with black 20"s and want everything either black or white on the car.... no chrome.. What do you think?

I got my Grill painted to look like Midnight Grill for $179.00. I have not asked about my chrome on the windows and Trunk though.

It depends all shops are different, the window trim is the most difficult part, but
I'm guessing around 250 more. And the tail lights at a shop probably another 200.

That's a lot. I was thinking...window trim and trunk lid could be done around $250-$300. I was so wrong...
