I checked at a chevy dealer body shop nearby and they wanted $300 to paint my eyelids!!!! So $160 sound better but still way too much.

So I went to a sherwin Williams and got them to mix a 1/2 pint of BR "ultra 7000" brand paint, 1qt of basecoat "premium system" BCS65 stabilizer (reducer), 1 qt of "finish 1" FC710 clear coat, and 8oz of FH611 "finish 1" fast hardener for around $100 and I painted my eyelids, engine cover, xr rc and still have paint left over after having some wasted paint. Or you can get the color match rattle can stuff and paint them yourself.

the place I went to WAS a small town body shop... I'll just wait up for chewy to see how that goes. btw chewy I think you should build your mocks based off of the t-Rex 2's. atleast for me :)
