Errr, Ok here it is!!

Seriously wont cost more then a 100 it shouldnt!

But body shops will charge from 50-200.

Now, ur just paint 1 panel, the thing is PANEL PAINTING IS HARD 2 get 100% color match!! so good luck

Most of the time its so close the average person cant tell.

Do it and do it right the FIRST time. The last thing you want is a ghetto looking center piece that everyone will make the bitter bear face at. Maaco quoted 20 bucks to match the color so u might wanna try there for a cheap good looking fix. Here's my ride:

Mine cost me 35$, and pretty much its exact color. Minden silver pearl is pretty hard to match since its kinda of a flip flop paint. Here is a pic

That looks sweet my_gst95. I agree just make sure when you spray it you don't bubble it. Paint can look horrid if you botch it and make sure you color match it right. Otherwise I have to agree, I would just do it myself.
