how much should i expect to pay to get just a front bumper lip painted pikes peak white? and is it a pretty easy install to DIY?

 

I had mine painted blacked for $160, that included the sanding etc. I'd say expect to pay $150-200. I had my friend who's a Nissan Master Tech install it for me but it's fairly simple. A few screws on the fenders, underneath the lip and you're good to go.

 

1 or 2 buddies and a case of beer would be helpful (beer after the install is on straight)

 

I paid $100 4 years ago to have a Veilside front lip painted and clear coated. I would expect to pay $150 these days for a quality paint job. I installed it myself. Difficulty of install will depend on which lip you got, authentic or replica, etc.

Be careful while installing, because if it's a snug-fitting lip you risk cracking it where it wraps around the corner of the bumper into the wheel wells. Don't be afraid to flex your bumper a bit if needed to get the lip to wrap around. Also make sure the lip is centered side to side before securing it in place on the bumper.

 

depending on the shop, $200 at the most. if you're going to DIY make sure to get a friend or two to help.

You should expect to pay anywhere between $150-250 depending on the quality.

 

150 at the most.

well its a three stage paint so that will increase the price. no more the 4oz of base coat then another 4oz of midcoat then the two coats of clear..

so like 225-300.

 

08 PPW Z, stock bumper of course and putting a nismo style lip on it, should i go with a ppw colored lip or paint it black? i know painting it ppw will cost more, but not worried about that. just want opinions on what you think would look best. thanks to anyone who replies

 

I would paint it the same color of the car.

 

yeah i planned on it, just seeing peeps opinions, they want $225 to paint it ppw tho =/ and another 75 to install it

 

it will look better painted PPW and not black. $200-300 for prep/paint/install is typical for a lip. but i wouldn't pay a penny more.

 

thats a little pricey for paint, but as long as its good paint job i guess its ok, you would want to install it yourself? You need 4 screws and some 3m double sided tape, and to mold it to fit better a blow dryer or a heat gun.

 

ppw with maybe the center accented in black.

 

it whatever you like best. personally i like the look of black lips. to each their own.

 

paint the sides ppw, center black.

 

PPW

 

PPW as well for me
