Mod: Paint a-spec body kit

Im trying to paint the black fog light housing and also the rest of my a-spec rear body kit in to PWP paint color.

here are some pics of my tsx body kits now. (black housing + black under body kit bits)








i'm not sure how to get the exact color paint PWP, so is it the best way to take my car to the dealer and ask them for painting ?

i'm sure it won't be a easy DIY so i'll probably pay for someone to paint
can anyone recommand any good shop around NJ/NY area?

thanks

Paint code is printed on the driver's door jamb. Take it to a pro shop and they should be able to do it for probably around $150 or so, but don't quote me on that.

I'd be interested to find out how much it would cost
I'd like to do the same for my OEM kit.
If you have it done, would love to see the after pics

I personally like the black contrast in the foglight housing
the rear skirt also resembles the rear diffuser found in jdm evo IX

Painting PWP well is not cheap nor easy. Pearls never are.

I was quoted $350 CAD just to repaint the front lip on my car (PWP).

Good luck, but IMO it looks great as-is and will be too white/bland/uniform if you paint what you're planning to.
