<E-36>Repainting Spoilers to Body Color ??

	Am the proud owner of a 1993 325is Black/Black with Racing Dynamics RGR =
245/45ZR17 Dunlop D40M2's. Considering painting the grey front, =
side-skirt and rear bumper Black to match the rest of the car.
I spoke to one of the guys that does paint work for a local BMW =
dealership here and he said the cost of painting the above items would =
cost me in the neighborhood of $550. I would also have to leave the car =
with him for 5 days.=20

	He also mentioned that some of the cars he had painted previously had =
paint peeling in the holes where the jack is used (on the sides of the =
car). He said that if this happened he couldn't repaint it for free.
Is there a recommended method to getting the job done ? Should I be =
talking to someone else (a professional paint-shop ??). Is the price =
excessive ?? I've decided to wave the cost of putting M3 style spoilers =
and they are too expensive.

	Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
