Painting Front Lip

Anybody know where I can locally buy mixed oem paint by the pint for a really good price? I went to Wesco and the cheapest they had was 234 dollars for the paint/reducer/clear/etc.. My friend told me I can get it for a lot cheaper.

That or anybody know where I can get my lip painted for pretty cheap?

Let me know if you decide to have it done professionally. I have a couple friends that work at a good bodyshop that are constantly doing sidejobs and at a much better price.

I wasn't able to google the number for that shop nor could I find the site because it seems like its too broad of a name to find. Do you have their number by any chance?

I dropped off my sideskirt today, to get a chip repaired, and having it repainted along with my fenders. Based on what I'm paying, they'd charge you about the same as what you were quoted, although I know the work will be VERY good.

oh really? do you know by any chance if it would be cheaper if I had more parts to be painted? because my friend wants to get his body kit painted and we have the same color code.
