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: http://automotivetouchup.com/choosec...+No%2C+*+73130 |

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
