They don't specifically say that the $2,200 is the delivered price, so although that's what you asked for I would not assume that. $2,200 delivered would be a sweet deal. Based on some body work I recently had done and the cost of painting I think you'd be looking at about $1,000 to $1,500 for a quality job. It depends a bit on how much finishing work still needs to be done. Even though it's shipped primered that doesn't mean that it's totally free of pits and waves. The body shop that paints it might want to spend some time still smoothing it out and getting everything perfectly even. That's probably the biggest variable in the cost.

Let us know if you find out anything further....
