I am thinking about buying a oem front lip for my 5th gen. Around how much should I be expecting to pay for the paint. I am thinking about going to honda and get it done from them.

 

be sure to take some lube with you when you go to Honda to have it painted

Thanks

 

Just bring it to a body shop. They should do it for around $100.

 

$150 for a good paintjob? damn im glad i told that other place to expletive off when they said mine would be around $400 lol.

But would a good body shop be able to match the factory honda premium white pearl paint?

 

$400 U.S. for a lip?

I took mine to a Lexus/Toyota dealer (becasue they do great work), and it cost me $450.00 Canadian to have my hood and right fender painted Nighthawk Black Pearl. Perfect match, and they did a great job.. for a lip.. I can't see it costing more then $100.00 - $125.00 U.S. for a perfect match. Look around if you need too.. and keep in mind that the front lip is likely to take damage within the week from normal driving (simply becasue of its location).

 

hate to be an *** cause thats why this site is goin to ****, but if you're goin to have honda do it, why dont you just go to your local dealer and get a qoute?

I just want to see how much everyone else paid to get theirs painted. I can understand why you pmsing its that time of the month for you.

 

yeah im pmsing??? only thing i said was stating the obvisious...if your goin to honda, why wouldn't you just get a qoute from honda. there the only ones that will have your answer. it's not like you said oh im lookin at prices of what this will cost me in general...you specified you were taking it to honda...geez


body shop= not goin to cost so much $100-150 depending on where you go
(why wouldn't they be able to match paint...give them the correct paint code, please just don't take it to maaco there a 50/50 and usually its on the shitty side)

stealership= get ready to be raped....

there you happy...i gave you an answer

Yeah, I'm in the same boat as you. Me and my friend are about to do it by ourselves, but its still going to cost me an arm and a leg because Premium white pearl requires 2 coats. The base coat and the pearl coat.
