Default Ugg, Audis are so soft.....(some painting questions)

After a month of long commuting (~300mi/every other day) i have all kinds of paint chips on the front end and even a chip in the windshield. Seems pretty pointless to get a bra now. I will just repaint somewhere down the line. The bumper holds up pretty well, its the metal surface of the hood and fender thats chipping away.

How much is it going to cost to repaint? And I've always wonder about blending? How is it done? Overspray to the surrounding panels?...That doesn't seem like a good idea.

Default I'd say its gonna cost you at least 600 to do the bumper and hood...

they have to basically prep the fenders as well and blend those to the new paint which is pretty much painting the thing again... its a bit of work and if you get a price any less than that then their paint is made of water
