inexpensive shop to paint?

I have a front lip that I want paint matched before I put it on the car. Theres a paint booth at the hobby shop on base but as it would be my first paint job I'm thinking doing it by myself might be a bad idea. So who can give me a place that can paint it for a good price and still do a good job? And what can I expect to pay?

What lip is it? I bought some cheap ebay one that works great on my car, does the purpose of protecting my bumper. As long as you do a lot of light coats evenly the paint should turn out good as long as you do it in a dust free area. If you don't do it yourself or know anyone who can hook you up it won't be cheap.
