breather and paint (what a combo)

OK... I finally got my socket set and found the pcv valve! That puppy was clogged bigtime. Anyhow, the new one was very easy to replace and the car seems to idle a lot smoother.

Research I've done on the web says that if the pcv valve is clogged, more than likely oil and crap builds up in the breather element. Can someone please tell me where this is and how to replace it? I looked on here and did a google on it but couldn't find anything.

About the paint....

I noticed with the last wax job that I've got a lot of stone chips on the front bumber cover and hood. I'm contemplating a new paint job (non-sundance) in the near future and just wondering what a qualty paint job runs for our cars?

NOVA members can you recommend a paint shop?

Thanks again for your help!

if you go non sundance, you'll have to decide if you want the engine bay, door frame, trunk etc etc painted too. That can add a lot to the overall cost but will look more professional.

Good quailty paint job done right, with all the doors, trunk, hood trim etc off the car will run $4-$6K.

Number one reason I invested in a clear bra, it's saved my ass a few times fron "jumping and flying" rocks.
