could someone tell me what's the average price to paint a lip spoiler? i have the unlimitedtuning small lip spoiler that is about 3 feet long and about only 1.5 inch wide. i've been quoted from $200 - $400 for just the paint job. is that excessive?

 

PM Speedoholic or O_NO or DJNOOCH. They have they have the same spoiler and will be able to tell you what they paid. I wanna say around $80 beans or so!

I had a Gialla grill painted and it ran 150. And that was with a friends referral who owns a local speed shop. A lot of the costs are just to order mix and blend the paint... sometimes the size of the piece is the last factor. Just my .02

nooo way man. I got my stock grille painted flat black for CHEEEEEEEEAP. the dude said $150... I was like damn I cant do it for that much, I dont have that much money for a stupid paint job for something so small. HE thought about it and said "Ok, $100" I was like omg man still thats high. I cant do it for that much I dont have that much money. He stopped and thought again... "$75!" I looked at him and said, u swear u know its not gonna take that much work and time. All I got is $50 cause thats how much I think is a fair price to paint my grille. He stopped and thought again, "Fine, 50!" hahaha I was :-D. It came out realllly nice.Im happy

 

Go somewhere else. I got my unlimited tuning spoiler painted at my body shop for $50. They do great work there as I had my old Audi fixed there. They work on Benzes, Porsches, BMWs, Audis...

 

hey jate,

if you don't mind me asking, where did you go get it done? i'm thinking about getting a few pieces done, and that's a great deal.

 

got it done at Lee's Garage in West Long Branch, NJ.

 

In my experience, cheap bodywork is exactly that. If you figure flat sanding, painting, clearcoat, color sanding, and the experience of the guy doing the bodywork; always expect to pay alot for any body work if you actually want it to turn out right. Just a quick frame of reference, the show winning cars at the concours d' elegance have anywhere from a $10,000 - $20,000 paintjob!

 

I own a body shop. I' ve been fixing cars for 10 years. A lot of the paint price is color. For example last month I paid 72.96 for a pint of strawberry red (dodge neon). Last week I paid 59.56 for a quart of twillight blue ( g35 sedan ) red colors seem to be the highest with black the cheapest. The color is for your basecoat the n there is a large variety of clear coats body shops can use. som clears peel,some rock chip. whoever you get to paint your G make sure its a base clear system or it WILL eventually fade.
