I'm talking about Lexus, Porsche, Merdedes, Rolls, etc. If you can find one of those in your area, stop in and ask them who they use to do their body work. Don't be surprised if it's some shop off of some alley. Go to that shop and talk to them about your problem. Yes, pearl (any metallic) is harder to match that regular paint but a good paint man can do a good job. It all depends on the individual man doing the work and not the shop or where it's located.

Thanks whaap! I also belive the best shops are sometimes those small body shops with one/two ppl. I just wanted a quote from the body shop at the dealer as a baseline, you know what to expect because i'm paying this out of my own pocket. my insurance record is too clean
