Default paint job ?

does anyone know where to get a front clip painted for a decent price? i live in s.cali but some shops want an arm and a leg !!! i have about 400-500 hundred and keep in mind its just a front clip. i dont need the hood painted since i have a carbon hood waiting to be installed.

if you did all the prep work to the clip maaco might not be too bad.. they still suck though. Or you could hit up a friend with a air compressor and paint gun cuz paint is decently priced

Not necessarily, my paint was around $150 a qt. Id get a friend to do it with a paint gun if you do all the prep it isn't that hard to do at all, especially if the parts are off the car. IT wont take you more then an afternoon to do. Now just let it dry a few days before putting it on if said friend doesn't have a dryer, because the paint will feel dry to the touch but if you rub it the wrong way putting it on the car it will peel right off and you'll end up redoing it.
