Default Good place to get a hood painted?
Looking for a good shop around socal/SD area to get my WS9 hood matched to the rest of the car. The shop that was recommended to me locally wants $1200 bucks to paint the hood only, no blending the fenders or anything, and I think thats a little high. Anyone have some suggestions I could check out this week?

Maaco shot mine for 150 and people still can't believe maaco did it. They actually shot my whole toyota too but I did all the prep work of course. Their bodywork blows fromwhat I seen. The actually primer everything they shoot too I figured they just sprayed over whatever.

That should only run you $400 - $500.

Maaco shot my v6 for me 3 years ago for like 500 single stage i was happy with the results and it lasted awhile one recommendation if you go maaco it should be 100-250 max now, but have them clear it

I wonder if silver is hard to match? I might investigate maaco if I can't find a decent shop. The only one I could come up with is Elite Collision, I know they do good work so I'm going to call them tomorrow. I just don't think I should be paying 1000+ for just a hood.

Well, I settled on Elite Collision, I talked to Adrian and he's gonna do it this week. Turns out his shop is less than 2 miles from my house.
