average cost to paint hood

hey everyone.... i just recently got a powerbulge hood for my gta and i was wondering what should be the ballpark price to paint the hood both top and bottom..... the hood really needs to be sanded down because the factory bright red painted is severly faded and cracking.. its a straight hood... it has no dents..... i want to change it to flame red like my stock gta color is.. i dont really want to do the prep work i will just let the body shop do it all.... so what do you guys think...

600 range, depending on the prep needed... i recently had a 4th gen WS6 hood painted and it needed prep and paint

Re: average cost to paint hood

I don't think your car is flame red because mine is flame red and is a lot brighter. Sorry to change the topic
