I have no personal experience with the Scheib chain myself, but they have 
the reputation of being slipshod. I'd get several quotes, and talk to each of 
them to try to get an idea of what they'd actually do. Keep in mind that 
warrantees are pretty hard to enforce if there's any question of who's at fault.

How much to do both? That will also give you an idea of how much effort they 
will actually be putting into the painting. For any real body shop there should 
be no real difference in the price for different colors, unless you get into fancy 
metallics or multi-layer coats. Can they tell you what paint they will be 
using? Is it a trusted brand, or is it just the Earl Scheib house brand (no 
name, whatever...?) 

I'm getting visions of a paint can with a plain white label with large black 
block letters that say "PAINT, BLUE."

Anybody ever see the movie "Repo Man?" Remember the generic FOOD?
