CA Paint Job/Body Shops?

Hey, I'm new to this site and I'm about to purchase a Tsunami style front bumper off of ebay since the bumper I have now got smashed in by the previous owner, but am unsure of the cost of how much the paint job is going to be (car is sunlight silver if color changes the price at all), and of any good body shops in my area (94582), in the bay area. Any input would be much appreciated.

There could be a bit of fitment problems with it depending on if its authentic or replica (not sure if there even is a replica of the tsunami but just assuming). Could cost you anywhere from a few hundred (for a good paint job with little fitment issues) to 1000 for a good job with a lot of fitment problems

Check out regional forum. I went to Michael J's in San Jose (place does work for both Mazda dealers) and wasn't that impressed and they are very pricey. Check out Yelp.
