I'm with you guys if it's reasonable for paint. I can't see it being more than $300 or so for a white base coat clear coat. If they can't come close to that I'll be looking for my spray gun and picking up some paint materials.

 

looks good.. paint that thang!

 

I loved mine 'til it got stolen!
X1000 on painting and keeping it.

I got one painted and it was around 250 locally, and his was arrival blue
can't see a simple white being more than 300.
