I have a 2001 Taurus too, and I wouldn't spend $5 on a can of Krylon for mine. You must be having better luck with your Taurus...I had to put a new transmission in at 80,000 miles and now at 94000 miles it has a oil leak from the head gasket, the ac and power windows don't work and the suspension is going out.
Anyhow, call around to the body shops in your area and find out what they charge. Then post on your local craigslist asking what people's experiences have been with the one that you're thinking of going with.
