Lot of things go into play when pricing a paint job, even the color has a great effect on the price. For instance, reds are much more expensive than black or silvers. BUT, to try to answer your question:

1) Hood, without blending into the fender: $500-800 depending on color
2) Hood, with blending into fenders and front fascia: $1200-1500+ depending on color
3) Spoiler, shouldn't need blending since it sits above the adjacent surfaces: $200-400 depending on color.

You definetly want to blend the adjacent panels or you will tell a difference in the metallic on the pewter.

Yeah, $409 is a good price. I charged a guy $400 to smooth up an aftermarket ram air hood and paint it.

Lot of it depends on what part of the country you're in. I'm in the Balt/DC area and it cost more around here. Now in a more rural area with "Bubba" shooting your car you may get a cheaper price.
