Message	I was quoted $500 maximum for the same job, and that's in a pearl color meaning that there would be a primer, base coat, pearl coat and clear coat. I ended up not doing the work for other reasons (mainly time constraint, logistics and the $500 in towing alone that I was quoted since my body shop is 70 miles away from home). _________________________________________________________________________________ "The Z is the cause and the solution to all my problems" -- Me
