What's a fair price to pay for...

My sister damaged her side view mirror (it's a Steel Gray '06 Hyundai Sonata).

We bought her a new (unpainted) mirror.

I want to take it to a body shop to get it color-matched/painted. I will install myself.

What should I expect to pay and can anyone recommend a good place?

Thanks!

I don't expect the paint job to be over $100; not putting down the Hyundai Sonata but I don't expect their paint to be anything more than PPG...

I know grills run around $75; you should be looking between $75-100.

I recommend:

Classic Automotive Crafts
122-46 Rockaway Blvd.
Ozone Park, NY 11420

I got my rear bumper painted there and it was a perfect match.

a friend of mine had a dark gray bmw 335xi, and he painted his mirrors glossy black for the contrast. it came out great, and he said he only painted 50$ a side. ill see if i can get the place from him...

+1 That place does great work. Got my Pearl White Tsx Fixed there twice. Color match was perfect.
