Paint pricing???
Well, for some time now I have been looking into the Grip Tuning body kit. I know the price of the kit but I was a little curious on a price that it would be to get it all primered and painted with oem paint...
Any feed back is cool, and I did a forum search and didnt really anything. :/

well in my opinion its a waste. The reason why I say this is the paint and labour that goes into installing the GRIP kit is gonna cost you big. In the end, you'll notice a very small difference (even other ppl wont know what's been changed) because thats the way the grip kit is. you should consider a better kit .
A simpler solution is buying a lip kit such as RKsport, etc. It is durable, removable when needed, and attaches onto the existing bumper's meaning that you only need paint for the lip, and the lip to be installed and you are good to go. It's also a noticeable change and it looks DAMN nice
its also cheaper to paint then full body kit bumpers
just my .02

should come primed,just sand first. If you take your time, painting the kit yourself is notthe hardest thing in the world.
and i agree with the post above me

install and paint about 1600 cdn
and thats a proper job.
can I see some pics of this?(need to see what we're working with) Theres a dealer around my place that sells ss/sc front lip for like 200 (not bad). Even then touchup paint for the hwole bumper + and if you need a new lip or not shouldnt cost you more then 500. Alot less then what you would pay for the grip front being painted, etc.
gravanatuning.com or cobalt-addiction.com
you could also search RK sport lip kit for Cobalt in google or any search engine. Pretty sure you'll find a place that sells it
