Hood re-paint

hmel '74 said: Hey boys and girls.
The paint is flaking off of my hood. The car was quickly painted right before I bought it 10 years ago and its wasnt prepped well. 
Anyway, Im going to get some estimates on painting the hood and I was wondering what to expect.
Ive got some paint left (the seller gave me what was left in the gallon and its still good as I moved it to another container but I dont have  the hardener that goes with it) 
So, any input of cost of a hood re-paint with customer supplied single stage paint?

Thanks!

I had a shop that did custom work do my paint work. The shop painted my car in '05 and then they painted the big block hood in '07. I think the hood was about a grand. But they had to fit the hood and painted the underside for me too. 

I would go check out different shops in your area and go from there. Good luck!

I would guess a commercial shop will not "shoot" a customer supplied paint especially 10 years old.  It would be useful to color match.   A small one man operator might be willing to do it. Do you know the brand of paint so they could find the correct hardener?
