Good question....I paid a bit more than most I think, I wanted it to look factory, I called the local Mercedes dealer and asked them who locally was certified to do there paint, they gave me the shop name of the company they use. They quoted me $900, I worked them down to $700. But they did it right! Took all the side moldings off, took the fin off. They spent a day and half just prepping and it shows, it looks like glass.
