Question about painting eyelids??

I bought these eyelids off of ebay a while ago and I figured it would be a cheap quick mod but when I took these $20 dollar pieces of plastic to the bodyshop to get painted, they told me it would be $150+ to paint because of the tri-coat paint (velocity red). What did it cost you guys to do it, advice???

I have some , but mine came painted 129.00 and 15.00 for shipping. Getting them painted is the expensive part . I got them from a guy by the name of Jay I think he's a member here. Came out nice .......

Advise: shop around , but I don't think is going to change much.

Good Luck.
