I bought a rear window spoiler for $50.00.

Guess how much it's costing to skim coat, prime and paint it?

$130.00.

Sheesh ...

 

Paint isn't expensive. The process of painting, on the other hand, is very expensive.

Meh it ain't that bad if you do it yourself

rear window spoiler - 50 bucks
Nissan BT4 colormatch paint from automotivetouchup.com - 30 bucks

Color match - You be the judge:

 

You just got employed to paint my lip kit. Lol

 

 

I'm all about DIY, but I've never seen anyone DIY paint job and it not look like ****. I would not recommend anyone to do it.

$130 isn't bad actually. Some places it's a flat $180. When I needed my bumper painted once for a scratch someone did, it was quoted at around 400 for the factory Pearl White match. I decided to just have them paint the whole thing White, no pearl...for under $800. Can't tell the difference.

Moral of story: re-painting the whole car was a better deal.

 

I've used the Dupli Color Perfect Match paint on bumpers and a grille. If you know how to paint, it can turn out very nice. If you dont, it, well... doesn't. Lol. Mine turned out nice. Even a professional painter said it looked really good. So don't dis the paint when it's the person using it that's the problem. Haha.
