How much does it cost to paint a small lip?

I bought it on ebay, and it's non coated polyurethane ready to be painted. Its for the trunk, and not very large.. I got quoted for $100 but I think thats ridiculous..

You can find the paint code in the drivers door jam or in the spare tire well.

No the previous owner took those sh*ts off. I assume the code is LY7W

It is LW7W. You can have a paint shop make it for you in two-stage (base plus clear) and put it in rattle cans and do it yourself. At our local shop it'd be about $40 for a can of each.
