1) How much should I expect to pay to have a Hardtop painted?

(it is classic red, and I get sick of looking at it on the Velocity Red).

2) Will a body shop be able to match the flakes as in the velocity red paint?

3) Do you recommend a body shop to do the paint without taking off the rear window? I hear if they take it off, all new stripping is needed to put it back on?


Appreciate the help. Looking for recommended shops anywhere in Southern CA (from Ventura all the way down to San Diego).
