Default Painting front-end

Anyone have any idea how much it would cost to get my front-end painted? I mean a good paint job that matches my color.

No, that seems about right. The better places will charge a bit more. I got one quote for 300 bucks and one for 1600. The 300 was a Maaco and the 1600 was a place that paints exotic cars. The place that gave me an 800 I had paint a quarter for me that had a big scratch and they did nice work so I think I'll use them when I get my bumper painted.

I'm just talking about the frontend, $400 sounds good for just one panel. Right?

I paid 700 for the whole front of my car, doors forward, but I did most of the work, basicly just borrowed his expertice and shop/equipment.

Should be $350 to $450 for just the nose itself to be painted. As mentioned above, a blend will cost alot more, I think $600 would be the bare minimium.
