Default scraped my oem front lip..

i scraped my lip pretty bad..the scratch is about 6-7in. long..its pretty deep..before i go to a shop for an estimate..do you guys know anyone or any place who can help me out..the lip retails for 280..and it would be kinda gay to pay 280 and over to have the lip repainted..so if you guys know anyone that knows how to paint or anyone that can give me any recommendations it would be appreciated..i will post pics in the afternoon due to the fact its about 2:13am haha..

edit* not going to post pics anymore

paint=75, labor = about 125 = you might as well buy a new lip if you care that much.

or $6 for touch up at honda

take it to a shop and get an estimate, if it costs more than $280 look into getting a new lip, and then add the cost of paint on top of that.
getting an estimate shouldn't cost you a thing

pics would help to give us a better idea of how bad your damage actually is
