i just bought a set of eyelids from my friend for 20 bucks. i thought it would be worth it cause then i could just go and get a paint match from napa and have em put it in a spray can for like 20/30ish bucks...ha i went to nappa and first of all they were real a$$holes when i started talking to them, i wouldve gotta more attention out of a wall, soo anyways they wont put it in a spray can, and secondly they want to charge me $70 just for the friggin paint! i know dulpi doesnt have our paint color and the guy at the dealership told me it wouldnt be worth the cost to get it painted by them for just those 2 pieces...soo he gave me his painters number and told me to see if he can help me out.

i have a feeling its gonna cost me a bit too do so i wanted to know if anyone knows of any color made by a company like dulpi etc that comes close to the cool silver color?

 

why not get a body shop to do it? it cost me 50 dollars canadian to get a shop to do it and it looks perfect.

 

i thought they might rip me off and i havnt gottan a chance to check out any shops cause the closest one it about 3/4 towns over

 

try a body shop, might as well have them do it, cause they'll do it right, whereas with the spray can you can still mess up on it. I actually have a cf set of eyelids that i'm going to get painted TG soon.

Now my question for you guys is do you paint both sides of the eyelid or just one? Since mine is Cf I don't think i can paint the underside cause its all rough..

 

i had mine painted at a body shop when i had mine on b4 i got into an accident, it cost me like 40 bucks to have em painted,,,clearcoated,,,,,the whole deal. good luck

 

u shoulda just bought mine when i still had them...

 

i painted my own 2 days ago... i also went to nappa, they charged me 16 bucks to mix the paint and then put it into a spray can. Color came out perfect. Im extremely happy with the job i did

 

sweet, have any pictures of what they turned out like?

 

i know...i just couldnt get a hold of the money and one of my good friends had the same ra as me but sold it and got a evo 9 mr se and had the eyelids laying around from his ra kit he bought from accolade soo he gave em to me unpainted/unused...im just gonna sell em though cause im planning on getting the projectors soon

 

i dont know why the nappa over here is looking to charge me soo much and cant even put it in a can...
