Have some paint issues

I have an 06 NBP and the poor front end has seen better days. So many chips and sand blasted specs. I am going to try to get some one to over spray it and was wondering what something like this might cost. Want to make sure I am not getting ripped off. Also I have a couple wheel scuffs I am going to see if I can et repaired. Any ideas on that. Thanks for the help.

The good thing about NBP is you can panel paint it without color blending. Only if the painter has good color matching skill. Some high end paint systems have damn good variant matches for this color. It's possible to see very, very slight pearl differences, if your in the direct sun, or if you have a torch light for color matching, and your eye is literally a foot away from the panel, if you have a good eye for color.

Make sure you use a good, proven, experienced painter and good paint materials. Should be a piece of cake. The proper way is to sand it down, prime and block, so you will be looking at repair time too. Good body work isn't cheap, unless you have a hook up.

Bumper is like $200-$400 usually. Make sure you take it some place where they actually remove the bumper and do all the prep work and then spray it. Some places will just tape up your headlights and spray away. I would suggest blacking out your grill at the same time you do this

Powerflow beat me to it and he provided better details.
