it depends. are they sanding it down completely? and then refinishing it with 3 coats? if so then 350 sounds pretty good.

if you are taking it off it should be nutting more than 200, if they are gonna do everything for 350 than make sure they take it off and paint it, and at the end wet sand polish the new paint, makes it smooth and more glossy. Im gonna paint my front bumper myself n maybie hide the sidemarkers. Good luck tho

350 is a very good price if they take it off + sand + primer.

Socal prices are generally cheaper. I say $250 is about the normal going rate for good work. $350 is a bit high IMO.

$350 is cool but if you prep it yourself, you'll get a better deal and it might come out better.

sanding. If you have resources you can primer and sand that too.
