You need to sand them yourself. (or have a friend do it if you can't, I have instructions out here if you need them) A shop won't be as fussy that's not what they do. Even if they did a high quality sanding it's 1hr 45 mins - 2 hrs per to get them perfect. You don't want to pay shop rates for that. Not even MAACO would paint both out here in a single stage urethane for $50. You want them done properly with adhesion promoter, primer, base and clear. $150 for a top notch job would be a good deal (if you sand). ...depends how important quality work is; you're talking small money here, get a high quality shop to do it; you do the removal and re-install.

I agree, but it's always nice to have the friends and family discount.
