Good Paint shop

Do you guys know any good places to paint my trunk in ivory pearl or can hook it up? A few places i called quoted me over the phone for 1500! I'm not looking to spend that much on a trunk. Thanks

For 1500 those shops were probably trying to blend the paint along with the quarter panel. Since ivory pearl is three stage, this is a very difficult type of paint to blend according to some people that i have spoken with. Which shops have you contacted so far?
