getting lip kit painted

im just wondering how much it would cost to have a lip kit like the rk sport ground effects kit painted. its not like a huge body kit, so it wouldnt use that much paint to cover all 4 pieces. im hoping that it wont be much more than $100 or so?

Yes, it going to cost more than $100. Take into account labor, paint, and any other materials necessary to do it correctly.

what if it's a single lip like say just the front ss/sc lip? Sorry don't mean to jack but i had the same question and im getting just the front lip and I'd like to know how much that would cost to paint. I though it would be pointless to make another post about it when theres already one here.

The first time I did my kit, I had a body shop do the hole paint and install, and it was $600. If you having them just do paint expect at least $300.

About $200. It's not the volume (1 piece versus 4). It's the time in the paint booth and the painters time, and the mixing the paint. He can shoot 1 piece just as quickly as all 4.

when they installed your kit tho did they just use the double sided tape that was on it or something else?

They followed the RKS instructions, so yes they used the tape, and they added a couple of small brackets to help in a few places.
