Default Painting for Lip and Wing

I'm looking to paint a wing and front lip. I was wondering where might be a good place to go and an approx. cost. I have a guy on base who does good work that will do it for $100 plus cost of paint ($60). I'm not sure if I'll beat that. Thanks.

You also have to consider the fact that a bumper and hard top are much larger than a front lip and spoiler. The average asking price for a lip and spoiler is going to be $200 and up. So that guy asking for $160 is probably the best deal you will find. But just because it's a good deal, doesn't mean you will be satisfied with the outcome.

Definately agree. However, I've seen this guy's work, and it is definately at least satisfactory. A few years back I had a bumper painted at MAACO. Worst $175 I spent. No prep work and the clearcoat was peeling after about a week or two. I went back to complain and show the place what was going on. They said they'd redo it for half what I paid the first time! I never went back and eventually sold that car with a diseased looking bumper and got the S. Thanks for the replies guys.

HAHA! Yea. . .the place I bought my car from had a MAACO job on the front bumper. It's starting to peel. Looks like my car has a flesh eating disease. That's why they only have a one year warranty there. They use crappy paint. It's a one stage (clear coat within the color) instead of a two stage where they spray color and then clear over it. That's why it looked so bad. As long as your guy uses a two stage, I'm sure it will look fine.
