Default How much did you pay............

to get your front lip painted. I'm getting my J's tomorrow and will obviously need to get it painted. I just want to get an idea what it should run me.

Thanx,
Chris

For the OEM lip, i would say around 120 bucks. Since the J's racing lip is so large, i would estimate 250 as well.

Sorry........300 is a RIPOFF.

150 at the most. I got mine done VERY WELL painted, WITH flex additive for 125.

Loose parts require NO prepwork,and should be cheap.

If the part needs to be fitted, thats a different story.

And flex additive would be what? In case I hit it, the paint doesn't chip?

Shouldn't be too much, mine was re-painted it needed sanding, fixing of cracks, primed, painted etc, so more work than a new piece and it was $200 cdn which would be about $125 USD.

It shouldn't be that much to paint it.
