Had a tow hook cover painted for my sisters VW. typical VW white.

$15 part costs $59 to paint
Breakdown
$4-misc.
$24-labor-body
$19-labor refinish
$12-paint

The cover has small black flakes embedded into the paint and minor surface defects. Not worth the money. Should have taken advice and painted it myself for $60. My sister has now decided against painting her bumpers and mirror covers at this shop.
