That's cheap as fuck. Just the paint and supplies cost that much when I did mine. (of course I'm over here in expensiveland)

I have both of my rear wheel arches needing to be replaced. I have maybe 3 door dings, none of them serious. The underlying paint is original and in very good shape. I would need both front and rear fenders, and probably the hood replaced because of the difficulties in repainting those parts to a high standard.
I went to a shop where the guy is a perfectionist, has a modern, expensive oven and good equipment. I told him to forget that my car wasn't worth the money to repaint it to his standard, but to give me his price. $4,800.00, and that was 2 years ago. So, $520....you get what you pay for.

$520 for a paint job done by someone else is a great deal unless it's a maco job as previously stated. My friend painted his Harley using the same paint used at the factory and just to paint two fenders and a tank he spent $400 in supplies, granted he's a great painter and his bike turned out beautifully, plus he had a booth. I would tape everything up on your car yourself so you don't get hella oversprayed, other than that I'd have to say you get what you pay for and don't get terribly upset if $520 gets you a 20 footer :cheers:
