So I order'd a set of replacement C pillars for my car to give it a little flair, and they come in this really, really, crappy blue color, obviously they need to be painted, I have an 04 GT and the paint code is G2, I have taken the C pillars to 2 different places to get estimates on a price, both places gave me exact opposite answers. The first place said it was going to be a 2 coat process of the color (G2) and a clear coat, urathane, Price 325$. The second place I brought them to said it was a 3 coat process of base color (G2), a pearl coat, and then a clear coat....price 475$. Now obviously I would like these to match the color of my car and when I was looking up the color code I have been told its Crimson Red, and another place said it was fire red, I always thought the fire red was a non metallic, but I am not exactly an expert on paint.....and if I have the paint code I guess the name doesn't really matter. Anyways, Does anyone know how many coats there should be, and how much it should relatively cost to have 2 C pillars painted?

G2 is......... "Red Fire Pearl Metalic" / Clearcoat

I would check with a Ford Dealer to get thier opinion and cost, then decide.
