It really does depend on a couple of factors, first is he just painting the trunk and spoiler or is saying he is going to also have to blend the qtr panels?

If the latter is the case then seems about right because he is basically painting the whole back of the car. Color will only be going on the trunk and tops of the qtrs but he will have to clear coat the qtrs and roof complete. Once you figure in the cost of matrials, sandpaper, tape, masking paper, and the liquid (paint & clear & primer) those items will add up fast if he uses good products. Plus the labor to mask off the stripes and spray them. Can you feel the lines from the stripes? If not then he has to clear the trunk then sand it down reclear the trunk and the sand and buff.

Lots of things to take in to consideration, the days of painting for a couple of hundred dollars are long gone. I'll will run it through my system and see how much I come up with! I'll be back
