Default Paint job estimate?

Alright so there is a little bit of paint fading off on the front fascia and around the side exhaust body kit. I was just wondering how much getting jsut the front fasica painted would be and if i should do it at a local shop or get it done by ford or something.

wow i went down to a local car shop and the estimate is $776. Because they would have to take apart the bumper and the fog lights and that rite there is around $352 just to get that crap taken off and put back on. Im about to take it off myself and jsut have them paint it and then i'll put it back on myself if its difficult. To me $776 is bullshit.
