My guy may be able to do something in a month or two. He works for McCann Cadillac in Fife and does sidework on the weekends with their new equipment. He is painting my boat next weekend for about $500...

My front fascia (whatever you want to call the front nose) is also take a lot of abuse, especially just underneath where it scratches the ground when I'm not being careful exiting and entering parking lot "ramps". It's starting to look a little ugly and I want to fix it now that the sun is out. I have no idea how much it will cost to paint and blend... does anyone also know someone who can do a good job in the Portland/Salem Oregon area? I could have my buddy do it but he paints mustangs 
JK I even own one and he is just a little inexperienced is all.

The guy I know does bodywork and paint for the dealerships. I saw a black CTS-V that he reskinned the whole left side and painted and it was flawless. Does great work and cheap side work. I'll find out his availability...

Those who have had theirs repainted in full before. What kind of coin did you have to lay down out of curiosity? I have gotten general quotes ranging from 3k - 5k, I am sure it is dependant on the quality of a job you want though.

Thats the average in my experience. More for the older resto rods and muscle we have done, but that of course involves more finish work.
3k-5k and you should get good work.
