For me the paint and labor was about $1200. But I did all the install work.

The Saleen kit for my '00 was very rough when I received it and needed over 20 hours of prep work to get it looking good and ready for paint. Including the kit I think it cost me very close to $3000 for everything.

you need to shop around. A shop may charge 1000 - 1500 just to paint it. They already know you have 1300 invested in the kit! A good at home painter can do it much less but you run the risk of no legal options if they screw it up. I would say 1500 painted and installed would be a GOOD deal at a shop.
