Just signed onto this very informative board!

Here's my question: I have a lip spoiler for my sedan shipping from Circle BMW. So I have called around town (Denver, CO) to get prices on painting. I've gotten $s anywhere from $200 to $120. Why does this cost so much? or is this reasonable?

TIA

Welcome aboard. I remember someone saying they got prices around $90 for painting, thats sounds reasonable.

Just keep in mind the body shop has to color match paint for your car and use the painting facilities to paint your spoiler. You could save some money if you have everything painted at once.

Thanks for the quick responses.

I wish I had a few $$$ to have the side trim painted, new mirrors, etc. But that's another mod...wish list grows...
