2) She has a rust spot on the hood underneath the paint.
Poked around on ebay and couldn't find a used front bumper. Are there any junkyards you guys use for this sort of thing? There have to be thousands of available parts for that thing. There were so freaking many on the road...
She wants to get it "repainted" but doesn't want to pay much. Are there any *passable* spray shops that aren't going to do a terrible job? I mean I know to do it right she's looking at 3k or so but let's assume she doesn't mind the fact that the underside of the hood won't match the exterior.
Any suggestions would be helpful.

When I had a work car that we needed some parts for and did not want to spend for new ones (1900s Crown Vic), we went to Brandywine Auto Parts · (301) 249-3200 104 Crain Hwy · Upper Marlboro, MD. We were pleased with the part and I believe we called them with what we wanted and they had retrieved the part for a small fee. Otherwise, I think you can bring your own tools and retrieve the part yourself.
