Default Anyone ever had their car repainted?

Whats up guys, i'm thinking about having my AP1 repainted the same GPW color from the factory. My question is how much do you guys think this will cost at a good shop. I have a few things that would be done.

1. New front bumper painted and installed
2. Side strakes removed, holes filled
3. I would pull off the windsheid tape and the side S2000 emblems

Does anyone have any idea how much this would run me? Thanks in advance, Mike

In Canada it would be around $3000-5000 for a good paint job;

So I assume US would be roughly the same.

But also it depends on the paint, if you use House of Color or PPG paint it will cost even more...

yeah 2k-5k sounds about right
i know when my dad repainted my sixer at his shop it cost him around 2k if not a bit more.

im sure a decent job would be 3k+
i saw a lexus RX in Brandywine Mica yesterday..and automatically thought wow that color would look great on an S.

Wait, you are not doing a full repaint? Basically just a front bumper? Probably $300-400.

3-400 sounds like a good deal (bc i didnt want to say cheap) in the past i usually get quoted about 500+ but i guess it just depends on the bodyshop and what they're doing plus how much is their hourly rate.
