ok buddy, dont try painting it yourself if thats what your saying, just take it to a body shop, take the lip of the car, tell him you need it re-painted, how much? dont bring your car in, with the lip on it, coz then they look at it as another car in the shop, and its taking up rooom, trust me i worked at a body shop. doing it yourself with look awful, believe me...

just a lip should be around 50 bucks, if not less.

Also it would probably cost you more to paint it yourself, you would need base coat, gloss coat, thinner, acrylic hardner, and if its a flexible piece you would need a flex additive($$).(forgot about the sprayer, would probably have to rent one) AND you would probably have to buy this stuff in ALOT bigger quantity then you would need.
