glad I found this thread, I am oblivious to cost of labor anywhere as my 2009 lancer GTS is my first new car and the first car I have ever cared about.

I googled and searched so many sites that touched on the terrible paint used on the new lancers, mine is already chipping on the hood with 1300 miles on it.

I fear I am going to have to drop 3K to fix what should have never been an issue... especially since I live in MA and the winter is going to KILL my paint. ughh
