In TX, you are looking at $350 just to re-paint the hood and front bumper. Everything in place but mask out the fenders and lights. If you want to be perfect by removing the hood and bumper, it'll be more

I would say around $1000 out here by me to do the hood with the fenders blend in and bumper. 
Also think about all the prep work with all those chips??? If your only looking to spend 
$400 say the money and maybe go with a Carbon Fiber hood that would look 
hot on your Silver GS

Hey chuck,
I was recommended a place on Clark road by a highly reputable member here, Automan (Dan)
The place is called international motorcars or International something. I can PM you with the info if you like
As far as paint goes, you really do get what you pay for. I will only use a shop that I have gotten a reference from and can see some of their work. Not just pictures but actually inspect the car and see how the quality is. For me it is worth the $ to have a good paint job than to go cheap and have to have it redone because it is a half a*# job. Just MHO
