Default Recommended Shop for Paint?

I need to have my VFN hood repainted. Can anyone recommend a shop in the Olympia / Tacoma area? I went to Lacey Auto Body and they quoted me $520 does this seem like a reasonable price?

I have to get it repainted because it looks like it got a bunch of chips in the paint from rocks but the chips are not on the nose at all just the fiberglass hood. Has anyone else had this problem with fiberglass hoods?

lol the ugliness is starting to get to me. But, yeah I'll be there tomorrow. I'm actually debating going tonight too just to make sure I get in some runs but I don't know how willing my pit crew (the wife) is to going twice in one weekend. I wonder how crowded it is going to be with all the events going on tomorrow.

How about Black with a perfect pearl





BTW that price I am guessing is just for the hood and no blend?

I paid quite a bit more than that to have my hood matched to my car. On mine they did get into the fenders, bumper and door to blend.

There is a shop here in Spanaway that seems to do pretty good work. The owner has a Viper they recently painted Blue with black stripes. Looks pretty good and they always have some pretty nice cars at the shop even the guys that work there has some really nice cars. I can get a name, I don't remember it right now. They wanted $2500 hundred to paint my complete car.
