325ix...paint and upholstery

   Can anyone in the Boulder/Denver area recommend a decent paint shop?

   Does anyone have a good source for either seat covers or upholstery kits
for a late 80s 325ix? I believe the car has leather seats.

   I recall someone mentioning some time ago,that BMW expects something around
$1200 per seat for leather.Has anyone "crunched the numbers" on just buying
new hides and having new seat upholstery kits sewn up? This is common practise
in the restoration of vintage American convertibles.(such as Cadillac).I also 
recall leather upholstery kits for XK Jaguars being lots cheaper than $1200
a seat.

Thanks in advance!
