If I can just throw my two cents in. I think Candyman was right in saying most paint places would want to do the quarter panel instead of just the one area as I just had a 2 inch gash and spider-webbing around the area on my rear bumper.

I took it to a place that I've used before for small jobs and they fixed the gash and resprayed the whole rear bumper for $125. The original PS2 paint code (after 8 years) would not have matched and the painter took out a sheet with about 10 shades of the same silver PS2 paint code and matched mine up perfectly.

I was very hesitant about having them do the whole bumper as I didn't want it to stand out in case the bumper didn't match exactly with the rest of the PT but that didn't happen and I was really pleased with the job and you can't beat the price.

The painters I'm talking about are a professional shop that goes around to the new car dealers and fix scratches and dents on the new cars when they arrive at the dealerships but also fix and paint some of the trade-ins that come into the dealer that they plan to sell in the used car lot. They can match any shade and I even had a large rock chip on my Vette fixed and that was a custom blended paint about 5 years old.

What I'm trying to get at is that the paint shop I used can be found all over the U.S., not necessarily the same business, and they do a great job and charge a small percentage of a regular shop.
