they better be blending into the fenders on a silver car. Panel painting silver (painting off the car) is really hard to match, even for a great painter. The bumper isn't that big of deal cause the bumper covers never match on a silver car.
If you are just getting the hood sprayed, thats a little pricey, but I'm bias.

$400-$500 sounds right are we talking an MPD F1 hood ? or F1 style hood because your looking at a lot of extra money to build up the fenders and blend them if it is an F1 style hood.

intial prep on ANY fiberglass hood is pricey IF IT IS DONE RIGHT... most poeple do not do it right and then end up with crap paint jobs.

IMO... 400-500 is just a bit low (not too much) to prep, block, and sand a fiberglass hood correctly and paint it as well. especially (as noted) if it is silver. that need to be done ON the car so that the paint can be blended into the fenders.

......which means the CAR will have to be in the shop also.....and the fenders should be blended - you are correct!
