paint will cost you close to 1000 and not to mention the labor and to make it fit right and make brackets to mount the kit the proper way

ya want a estiamte ill put my shops addy here come on by for a estiamte
a local shop (does amazing work) wants to charge my $1000, a friend who works at a car shop and has his own shop for body work on the side is going to charge me $350 if I cant do do it myself, I have the time so i might as well give it a shot. I can use the color matched paint at autozone, (used it when i did rust spots, I see no problem with it) and a fiberglass filler (please someone, I need to know what kind to use) and do myself for cheap as shit.

most body shops can fix that in under 300

my front bumper was like ripped apart in the middle from a crash and a performance shop here repaired and reinforced it for $360. paint color and finish was perfectly fine. in fact when i had my 2nd crash, the part they repaired was intact haha and the rest of the bumper was destroyed.
im sorry but that hilarious! good thing you know those guys do good work now though. in that one vid you had I couldnt tell it had even been damaged.
