Default Estimates for Paint Work

Getting estimates for having the front and rear bumper covers painted, the headlight covers, the new fiberglass hood, the roof panel, the rear deck (including patching the stock spoiler holes) and the rear 3 piece spoiler. Two estimates so far and two more on the way. The first two were $3300 and $3700--both reputable collision repair shops.

Been a while since I've had paint work done. What do you think--about right or too high? Car is black by the way.

Mine is being done on the weekends at the best shop in town. I have 15 hours in body work plus a total repaint with several coats of clear (same color) and mine is only $2200.

I'd have to take a bunch of pics to show the detail. I'll wait and see what my last two estimates come in at first. Thanks for the offer though.
