At least 50-100 unless you plan on getting something else painted the same color . Just look on your local craigslist for paint shops/ paint guys

toyota i believe sells the matching paint in a can..then just buy clear coat..baking it keep the paint together so they dont peel also makes the clear coat last longer.. but im not a pro i may or could be wrong...aaaaaahh just get it painted outside..lolz..

I recently painted my engine cover to match my Yaris. I bought a couple of cans of the color matched spray paint from automotivetouchup.com and was very impressed with how well the color as well as the metal flake matches up. a 12 oz spray can of color matched paint is $19.95, clear coat is $7.95 and primer or plastic adhesion promoter is $7.95.

Here's the link right to Meteorite Metallic:

yeah you can probably do it yourself
and save some money, try this:

get the kit from paint scratch with the
bullnose paint adhesion and primer.
Just lightly sand with 400 grit paper,
spray 2-3 light coats of bullnose,
than 3-5 light coats of primer, with
a wet sand after the 3rd coat, than
with 5-8 light coats of color, you can
wet sand once or twice, than finish
with 5 or so light coats of clear until
the shine matched your car don't sand
the last coat...
for the price of the kit - about $60 you
can bring it to some one

it will save you some money, if not
then ask around your area, i really can't
tell you where, cause i don't know your
exact location

Do you mean he painted them or did you after you bought them from micro?

I want some but would prefer not to take the chance painting them myself and messing up, or paying someone $100!
