If you get the car buffed and everything that is a average price.

that's a good price, don't forget that's not just spraying the hood. If the shop is doing the job correctly, they are going to be blending in the fenders, headlight covers, and maybe the front bumper cover.

Yeah if they take it all the way down and redo it thats a good price along with them cleaning up the rest of the car. Better to get it done right and pay the first time then cheap out and have to get it redone again soon.
