Message	Based on what I've seen at a local place, that's about a $100 or $150 job if the repaint isn't going to be easy. On polished surfaces it's CAKE...I had actual missing metal that they welded in, polished and made perfect. In this case it'll take a little work + possible paint so it'll be more (mine was $50). Just find a few places and check their work out (they'll have photos and stuff in house as almost ALL do).
