Paint and Body Guys Come in!

Just wondering if this price seems in the ball park or not because I have no idea lol
As most of you know I've got a buncha shit needing paint which are as follows:
Bumper-repair/paint/fill in plate holes
Hood-both sides, blocking w/e else etc etc/paint
2x side skirts
2x mirrors
Wing

The first shop I went to quoted me at 800 for everything including the price of paint. This is with me pulling the parts off and dropping them off because they wanted 2 hours of labor for pulling the bumper off (really?)

Being new to getting things painted I have no idea if this is in the ballpark of what it should cost or not. I was definitely gonna go shop around for some more prices but do you guys think it seems about right?

dude thats not bad at all! see anything else they painted? if the quality of paint is good thats a fair price!

 

[joekd]

2 stage paint right? If so that is a good price.

 

[ttocs]

not bad at all if they are blocking and wetsanding...

 

[justinschmidt1]

+1, thats cheap for all those parts.

Ive been quoted 800 for just a bumper.

 

[miss2slocoupe]

if i did it i would charge $500

 

[sams98gt]

i have a written estimate for $2,900 for painting my 98 silver convertible to dark shadow grey! door jams, under hood, under trunk lid...etc!! thats a little high i think so $800 is cheap for all they are painting on yours!! good deal i'd say!

lol, yea I may actually pick up a normal cobra bumper for my whip eventually when I get it all sorted and running

 

[OnyxCobra]

That does seem pretty cheap

 

[det_riot]

Humph okay sweet they did my cobra bumper originally so I know they're pretty decent. That was 100 for labor so good to know

where you getting it done at?

 

[94 DropTop]

Thats a great deal

Thats actually very cheap. Just make sure they blend the tops of the fenders also. With all those parts and the locations they will be on the car, I would almost suggest a complete repaint as blending everything together could lead to problems. JFYI the average is about $250 per panel for just a spray.

Yes+1 if you can get it blended that would be great.

Thats a real good price.

Bumping this back up. Does this sound about right for materials? How much do you think all of it would cost?
3 quarts of color
1 Gallon of Reducer
1 Gallon of Clear with activator
