Default is this a good price for paint?

Ok so i had a little mishap with my trans am. The rear quarter panel got a few scratches and dents in it. So i took it to a body shop that i was referred to, they told me between 600-700 to paint and fix the dents/scratches on the quarter panel, paint the door, and paint the front fender, just to make sure everything matched and blends good. Is that a good price?

he said thats the right way to do it so that the side blends togther cause if he just paints the one panel it may come out a tad different and youll be able to notice...

Why cant he just blend into the door? Why does he have to take it all the way to the fender unless the door is damaged also. Seems like the going price though.

Thats all going to depend on who does it and what materials they use. Its going to vary quite a bit.

yea i guess teh previous owner didnt take the emblems off right and there is a few noticable problems where the trans am logo was on the bottom part of the door so he would have to blend the door as well....
