I have a lip kit in the mail that should arive on monday and I was wondering what it might end up costing me to get it painted so I can have it on my ride ASAP. I just wanna match it to the factory TCM. I didnt envision it costing too much to get that taken care of. Is my guess of under $400 realistic? Let me know gang....
...oh yeah, Im only getting the front and rear lip sprayed and not the sideskirts. Anybody wanna buy some sideskirts???

Macco would be your best choice, they do great work fast and at a fair price. What type of material is the kit?, ABS should be around $200-250, Fiberglass is usually a little more $$$ because of more prep work.
Hope that helped.

Helps very much. Thank you. The kit is ABS which is nice cause when I hit everything in front of me due to my huge drop it wont crack as easily.
I dont have any pics of the kit yet but its hot.

I would say under $400... i had to pay $400 to get the lip kit and spoiler painted when i got my RS1.0 since i couldn't just order the kit because the kits where in limited production in my color. I had to order the Super White color and had to get it painted.

yeah under 400.00 sounds right , I spray a lot of automotive paints myself and if you had the equipment id say do it yourself it wouldnt cost more then 150.00 for the primer , paint , and clear,
Very important if you go to Maco make sure they use the correct reflective flakes in your paint or else it wont have the right tone , and make sure they put a heavy clear coat on your lip, I sparyed a 3m chipguard and then put a clear coat over my stock lip , id suggest the same for you.
