The truth behind a hood repaint

I've been lurking and searching and I have some questions about repainting my hood. I have several rock chips and a good sized 'divit' near the hood emblem that clearly cannot be buffed out. Questions I have are:

1. Assume I find a quality, certified BMW body shop, does anyone know the price I should expect to pay?

2. I've seen two opinions about repainting on this forum - some say avoid at all costs, others say it's the best option. I'm curious about the reasons to avoid repainting at all costs.

3. My car is sparkling graphite metallic - is this difficult to match perfectly? will the color be noticeably different?

Sorry for all the questions.
