Does anybody have a rough estimate of how much it is to get a body kit painted?

Depends on a lot of factors. I've been quoted at around $300 per panel, so depending on the size, it shouldn't be more than that. Unless you've got that weird one where the front fender and quarter panels are one giant piece. It will be cheaper if the kit is sanded/primed already, who you take it to, what kind of paint, etc.

Somewhere in the scary depths of the search function there's a thread about someone painting his car with a roller.

don't ask these questions.

Go to a local shop. Every place in america differs. Not ot mention color you want done, shape the kit is in, bla bla bla. Could go for anywhere between $300 and $5,000

SO true.

But yeh, if you prep it before paint you could save a big chunk of change. Make sure you do it right though.
