Yet i got quoted 350 for a 2 tone rear lip? The roof is not that much bigger than the rear lip and the lip is using 2 colors. I dont think that right.

450-500 is about right. and the rear lip is ALOT smaller than the roof in regards to mass.

u do realize it takes a lot more work to paint a roof compared to a rear bumper or lip... if u want to paint the roof.. the whole car needs to get masked off and the whole car goes into the spray booth.. its not like the rear bumper where u just dismount it and throw it on a stand to get painted...
