I had my entire hood painted, plus the black on the scoop, for $200. However, that was a good deal from a local F-body club member.
I'd say anywhere from $200-300 is what I've seen the rate for it.
In case you didn't know, I think it will go great on the red. LOL

Yup, all you can do is look around and see what they tell you! Or possibly do as I did and see if anyone in a local car club can do paintwork for you for cheap. Good luck!

-Paint won't eventually peel off
-The vinyl decal is VERY tough to put on correctly without bubbles/wrinkles (many pros mess up both of them when trying to install)
- Decals are for pussies (as I was told many times over at LS1.com before I did mine)

I've got the hood and I'm dying for the CME.
