textured plastic is annoying to paint because it needs THICK primer so the paint doesn't look like textured ****. I would say about 2 hours of labor. So 100-150 depending on where you go.

Polyurethane is not simply plastic?! It's a form of plastic but is more like a combination of plastic and rubber. Its also heavier than most plastics. ALSO these pieces are NOT textured. They are smooth and have some mold lines/marks that will need to be sanded before paint. My body guy didn't use THICK primer to make them look right?

^+1. They are slick and should be pretty easy to paint. I haven't painted mine yet. Haven't had time to buy the paint. I am gonna paint it with my front bumper, once I get time to completely finish it. I have the fitment done, just needs some slight cosmetic surgery, very slight.

They still need to be sanded realllly well. Just because it feels and looks smooth doesnt mean it actually is. Gloss paint shows everything
