Thank bro. I been to the site before... I rather have it professionally done right the first time. Plus I don't have a garage to paint it anyway lol...

But what are you guy input on getting it paint macco since is only a lip ? Or is just better to take to a auto body shop ? Or what about auto collison shop ?
I been having a hard time finding a decent shop with pricing. I been quoting for 200. Does that seem reasonable ?

FYI I have a starfire pearl car ( 077 )

$200 is reasonable if its good. I got my Aimgain lip painted at a body shop for about that price and it turned out great.

the problem is not the labor its the paint it is tri color pearl and it cost a little more it is almost like a candy with the tri colors so 200 is cool. maaco is cool but there prep work sucks and that is the key steps in paint look on craigslist, I'll pm if I find something because I have been look and there are couple of local guys that have skills and it is just a lip but you want it to match good as well.

Yeah I been looking around.. Some local shop say the paint already cost them 100 dollar before the labor cost.. Funny part some shop won't event want to paint my lip because of the tri color lol... But I finally found a shop in Everett willing to paint it for 200. Friend of mine recommended it to me.. I can't wait to install my rear diffuser...
