I paid about $20 for primer and black paint...and then I painted it myself. I sometimes need to do touch ups because everyonce and a while it will scrape or something but except for that painting it myself has worked out well.

I dont have a lip kit yet, but when I get mine ill be painting it myself.

a few coats and a clear coat and it will look more than decent.

with all the abuse it will take from being a few inches off the ground, daily driven, I wouldnt waste the money on a good paint job by someone charging an arm and a leg.

Why dont you call up some body shops and find out? Finding out what some guy on the other side of the country paid isnt going to help you.

I paint lip-kits. Send me a PM if you live in the MA-RI-NH area. It won't cost you an arm and a leg either. And it looks very sick.

Do you paint kits, or have an actual shop?

we don't have a shop. we paint in my friends temperature controlled garage. we install the kits too, so we're way cheaper than some wack shop that doesn't even know what they're doing. $300 will get you painted, installed..everything. We supply everything too.
