ask whoever gave you that quote if they guarantee it not to crack and if they are going to paint it smooth. we've done plenty of plastics and here's what you run into:

> people usually like to shine these up. most of those shines shine due to a waxy or repllent coating. works terrible with paint. you can wash it and wipe it, but the plastic absorbs it and it requires a lot of hot water washing and waiting and rewashing since it will rise to the top again after each wash like deep dirt on a shampoo'd carpet.

> they'll need to do the following, sand down the rough texture, primer them with a plastic adhesion promotor. the promotor's important because it "etches" the plastic to help make the primer and paint stick. then they can paint it.
