how much would it cost for a body shop to paint a lip kit? i can install it myself. OEM front w/ rs1 sides/rear.

 

Go talk to a local body shop.

 

i have a mark on my front lip..to sand it down and repaint it correctly they want $247.00 just for the front lip lol

 

i got quoted 800 bucks for the entire rs1 lipkit from federal auto body.. im pretty sure thats pretty expensive... soooo... yeahh

 

damn, if its that much for the lip kit, i dont wanna know how much for my body kit...
one member here, from jersey, said he paid 1K for color matching for the 4 piece kit with molded gaps

 

300$

If you lived in CA and came to our shop.

 

^interesting

 

alot of times you can find paint storesonline that do paint match a lot cheaper with the same quality, and find someone outside of a shop that does it for fun that has a spray gun that may be able to do it for cheaper or maybe even a case of beer.

 

I remember paying $400 for my first paint job on a lip kit for my other car (4 pc lip kit).... but um....well, let's just say I got what I paid for =/ Hence it having to be repainted anyway and me spending even more $$$

 

i would go to a local body shop and get some prices..i never had to do this since i know someone that does body work and paint...but yeah good luck hopfully you dont pay over $500

 

I got the beer, anybody wanna help?

 

Why not paint the lip kit yourself ? If you have the skill to attach the pieces, don't you think you
have the skill to paint them too ?

The cost for the OEM paint, primer, clear coat, and proper spray gun will total less than 150.00

You have far more room for error with such small individual pieces off the car. You can easily
correct any mistakes. There are many tutorials on-line or at a local bookstore.

 

i know a shop that can do it well for $125. i'm on a recession budget

 

I paid $125 for my dealership's body shop to paint the entire kit. It pays to work at a dealer sometimes and to be a well liked employee . They also let me use their shop, lift, and all tools so I could install it.

 

lol guys this thread was from about a year and a half ago. its been painted for a while now.

 

yeah i revived it because i'm trying to find a good deal to paint my front lip. i think $125 just for the front lip (especially one easy to paint because the surface has no curves or holes - five axis lip) is too much!
