Can anyone give me a rough estimate of how much it would be to sand a zenki hood and repaint it pearl white at an average paint and body shop?

that depends, a body shop might blend both fenders too if you are getting the hood repainted, but i can't say just go get an estimate, also paint isn't exactly cheap either, my best guess would be $400-500, but im not too entirely sure

Not sure exactly. Probably between 300-500. Depends where you go to really.

It's not that hard to drive to a bunch of different shops in your area and price shop IMO. Trying to get an estimate from the internet, especially without pics, is impossible. We have no clue what shape the hood is in and if it will need any dolly work or glaze

Should be cheap, I got my whole car painted for $800 and it was very well done.

So a hood should not be that expensive.

for a good job. you have to blend the fenders so itll look good. I dont think itll be too bad, if your only painting it. Just go to a place and they can give a free quote of how much itll cost.

I worked in a high end body shop for a while... it would cost you probably 700-800 at our shop w/blended fenders which is a MUST with pearl.

equals ghetto. Pearl paint and blend with the tri-coat is gonna cost prob about 500-600, you have a nice chance to go get a CF hood.
