i wanted to get the stillen front lip but just wondering how much it usually cost to get something like that painted. my car is Icelandic Pearl.

 

Just go to your local paint shop and have them give you an estimate on how much it'd be. Because, if you post something like this, more than likely you'll not get an exact or close-to estimate on how much it's going to be depending upon where you live, what kind of hook ups you've got, etc. Just my two cents.

 

hmm, icelandic pearl....you're lookin anywhere from $75 - $150 depending on where you go

 

i went to a local shop last year to ask how much to repaint my stock
bumper b/c it has some scraps . he said $500 for the bumper. then i asked how for the gray trim he said $500 also . $250 for paint on a spoiler and $7000 for the whole car. yes seven thousand dollars he quoted me at. i was shocked i hope i never get in a wreck or scratch my car or i be out of alot of money

Dang I know that color paint is expensive but man thats a lot of money. I would expect a show quality slick as glass body and paint for that.

 

$7,000, damn that paint better give you some horsepower.

 

well the guy may have figured new bumpers, new trim, taking all the trim off for painting and stuff, its expensive but not tottaly un-reasonable because we havent seen the condition of his car, theres alot of work that goes into painting a car, even if it looks ok to you or me, when I had my gxe painted I was shocked at how much work went into a car that to me seemed as if it only had a few dings.

anyway expect to pay a little more because most guys are gonna tell you its gonna be more to match the pearl, and dont go cheap because if you do its not gonna match, especialy if they paint it off the car and dont blend it into the existing paint.

good luck,

 

Buy paint and do it yourself. I did and only cost me $80 for paint!!!

 

you could get the lip painted for around 80, but then it's gonna look weird unless the trim along the bottom is matching also

 

??? hmm, i JUST got a used front lip today for only $25. it's got surface scratches only from speed bumps and what not. but it's blue and my max is white. i went to this place called Abra (in ATL) and they wouldnt even WANT to try to put it on a re-paint it. then i went to Maaco...they're askin $300, sorry i was wrong - i didnt know theyd charge THAT much, but again...it depends on where you go.
