Cost of repainting the spoiler
So my spoiler has a chip that got bigger and bigger. Now is the size of like two fingers put together. I bought some barcelona red touch up paint and its not the right match for my car. My car was repainted a few yrs ago and the red I have now is a little darker than the barcelona. So basically i screwed it up and now my spoiler has 2 different shades of red on it. Once i started i couldnt stop . So how much am i looking at to get the thing repainted? One shop quoted me 75 bucks just to do the front grill so im expecting about 150 for the spoiler? Man am i bummed out.

Who told ya to take the car to a paint shop to get it matched??
I figure about $150-$200 to get it repainted, but I'm not sure with the price gouging they do over there. You could always ship it over here and I'd paint it.

Who said I wasn't going to paint your spoiler neon pink?? And actually, I could match the paint to what's already on your spoiler, as long as you didn't botch it up too bad with your new paint.

when I bought my car it didn't have a spoiler. The dealer sold me a new primered one at cost $400.00 ( so he said ) it cost me $150.00 to paint it black and install it. Very heavy... I know I can just about lift the trunk lid, speaking of that is there something you can do to make it easier to lift?

Yeah 150 is about the price i was expecting. I'll let you all know what happens this week when I take it into the body shop for some estimates.
