Two bodyshops here gave me estimates around $700 to take care of the spots
on my silver-gray 5ktq.  Both claimed the bulk of that was for paint
matching when they carried the blending up the quarterpanels.  When I asked
about just doing, say, a stoneguard black to just above the chrome strip
with NO blending, they offered to take about $100 off.  I didn't bother
asking about matching the pearl white on the 200q20v.
