I just purchased a RS1 front lip from customtc.com and I was wondering what would be the best way to paint it. I was either going to search for a site that sells color-matched spray paint and paint it myself, or I was going to get a local auto accessory shop to do it for me... I really dont want to screw it up. Also does anyone know if it comes primered?

heres the link to the lip: http://www.customstore44.com/lip.htm

any advice helps, thanks in advanced!

 

DO NOT SPRAY PAINT IT YOURSELF...

unless you want it to look terrible.

go to a shop and get it PROFESSIONALLY done. thats why they can chrage alot for it because it will be flawless

 

usually they dont come primerd.

i got my kit professionally painted, and its really difficult and time consuming to do it yourself.

 

you can do it urself if u r a professional painter

 

ROFL... im ok I guess but I think im gonna play it safe and get it done professionally like everyone else said.

Thanks for potentially preventing a disaster everyone!

does anyone know how much it may cost to do that?

 

Do it yourself, got mine yesterday, I'm driving around with it until I get all the supplies I need. Then I'll sand, primer, paint, clear coat, weather strip and reinstall it again.

 

awesome... Im gonna see if my friend can help me cause he's painted alot of upgrades like this before so he knows what hes doin.

 

Out here in California I have been quoted anywhere from $300 - $650 just for the front lip painted. The guy I purchased my lip from offered to paint and install mine for $175. I would have taken him up on his offer but money is tight because of bills and tinting tail lights (I make maybe $5 bucks off those).

 

wow, that doesn't take a genius to realize that is too much for painting a front lip.. thats insane

 

$300- $650 thats not even sane......

it just seems a lil too much

 

ya thats way overpriced.... thats what it cost my buddy to paint his whole kit... 450

 

You'd be surprised what people can charge. This guy in our club had his hood and lip kit painted for $450 and it looked worse than if he would have rattle canned it himself!
