paint estimate for 5Axis kit...
Hey guys, I got my 5Axis Lip Kit and AeroTourer Spoiler so now i need to get it all painted and installed. Does anyone have an idea of how much it would cost just to paint the kit...I think I will be able to install it on my own because it looks pretty simple.

Ive been told $1000 but that was to paint and install. Im in your same boat, i know I can do the install but I need someone to paint it...Id say start with the dealer and find out where thay get stuff painted then talk to them on your own.

there are rattle cans available to match our cars. if your interested in doing it yourself? i heard you have to buy the clear coat to make it reallly shiny.
i figure its at the bottom of the car. why spend so much money if it's gonna get pitted like the hood and bumper.

I was hoping to get it all done for under $700 just for painting or maybe $800 installed because I'm on a budget...I think I'll just go around to a few quality paint shops and have them give me an estimate to see who gives me the best deal.
