Finally found a cheap Type RS (Dont like mugen) type lip for my car

Was wondering estimate, how much it would cost to paint it at a reputable shop
Need a definitive price range so I can haggle around

Or....should i just Duplicolor spray can it?

Keep it Taffeta white?
High gloss black?
Satin Black?
Super hot metallic flake pink?
Ghetto-Decal it?

Lime green with decals? Neon blue with decals? Get the **** wrapped in colored carbon/kevlar, straight up carbon fiber, or even some sort of colored texalium?

I painted mine myself. I got some legitimate auto paint matched to my car though. The Chromabase paint is elite compared to Duplicolor line. There are many automotive paint places that will mix up aerosol cans for you with custom paint. Cost me around $25 a can, you'll most likely just need one can. Then some primer/clear coat. Ill post a picture of mine, came out just as nice as the cars finish after polishing the clear coat once it cured. If you do it right you can save a ton of money. I painted my front/rear lips, sideskirts and door guards.



I have a DIY for the door guards. Same process as the lip only you wont have to tape anything up .
