My friend owns the body shop so I do not pay full price on labor but I asked him how much would he charge if someone were to walk in from the street he his reply "If its and 07 and above model "meaning with the shark fin" it would be around $800.00" keep in mind this a very high end body shop that does mostly show cars so the paint jobs are IMO perfect... Also don't forget I live in New Jersey where everything cost almost double then anywhere else for example pack of cigarettes cost about $8.00 ... If you’re really considering a black top there is always the vinyl option which is around $100.00 at least in my area
