Paint job price

I am planning to install spoiler, rear s-line valence and S4 door blades to my A4 Avant, before to doing this I need to paint it. The spoiler is already primed. Door blades and valence need to prime. I bring it to do a estimate and the body shop quote me $600. Just need all of your help. is this quote is reasonable or too expensive. Please let me know. thank you very much

i think it should be more like 300 range

well, does that include the installation of the valence, spoiler, and door blades? if it does, tell them that you'll do it yourself because it's pretty damn easy. also, the body shop will re primer regardless so it doesn't matter whether or not you brought it to them primed. good luck!

I think that is a little steep. I did my front bumper and plate filler for around $200.(discount price..since it suppose to be 300 but they forgot to paint something else).

Yeah. I'm getting my bumper repainted, my mirror repainted and a quarter panel repaired, and repainted for $700.

Good paint jobs are expensive to do right. From my experience, it sounds about right. Maybe I go to the wrong body shop, but they do great work...

It is not included installation. I plan to install it by myself to save money. It is hard to make decision because I want a good job but $600 for just paint those is little bit pricey. Maybe I go for one more quote to compare. Anyone living in Bayarea and know good body shop, please let me know. thank you to everyone.

$600 is WAY too much go somewhere else!

I know this is a wide gap but I would say 300-500 is a good price especially if they use factory paint and do a great job
