Paint, where to and costs?

Im looking at fixing a car with some front end damage. i will need the hood, fender and bumper cover painted to match the rest of the car(grey).

Does anyone know how much this should cost for a good job?
and any good reputable places?

last time i did this my dad painted it and...well.. it didnt come out so great. haha

Repainting to match will cost at least a grand, mostly b/c its all matching and prep work. Not only will they have to paint the hood and such, but the doors in the very least will have to be blended.

depands on what you're fixing........... a $40 Lexus or a $400 Tercel. But, maaco can do it for under $500 (inc. some prep work) and turn it around in 3-4 days. i've had 4 cars painted by them and they all looked grt and held up decent. if you do it yourself the paint + materials will run you about $700 plus time (if you have the space and tools).
