Default Paint work

I now have my rear spoiler, side skirts and front spoiler for my C5. They are all primer gray now and need to be painted torch red before I can install them. Anyone have any idea how much it is going to cost to have this work done. I am in the DFW area so a local reference would be cool. I need a reference point before I start gathering quotes.

Reggie,

I use Jim McCrary (aka Mr. Mac), who for the past 30 years has been the Plano Independent School District's auto body shop teacher and is located at Plano Senior High School (PSHS). PSHS has a new-model paint booth in its body shop, and the school district allows Mr. Mac to do his own business out of that facility. Mr. Mac has about 35 years' experience doing this stuff, and produces great quality work (painting as well as collision repairs) for MUCH less than you would pay a commercial business.

PM me if you'd like Mr. Mac's contact info.
