Default Painitng front lip

In general how much should I expect to pay to get a front lip painted? My color is chrome silver so not the dark silver. I know every shop is different so I just want to know a ballpark figure. With paint shops do they go by the hour when it comes to painting? I'm not sure how it works.

Thanks

Depends on the quality of the lip. How much prep work does it need? If the lip is perfect and requires only basic prepping/primer, I wouldn't pay more than $150 or so to get it painted.

For just a lip. I wouldnt pay more than $100 but I bet if you look around you can get it done for $75. I got two lips painted 2 weeks ago and he charged me $50 a piece. I kind of knew the guy (my friend gets a lot of body work done there) so that might have been a factor. Great work, perfect color match, looked like glass after he buffed it.

It was. I'd charge $75 depending on material and condition, maybe more. I live in an area were work is relatively cheap too.

if your lip is really good quality, you might have to pay about 80-100.
