Default What should I pay to have this done?

Want my mirror covers painted Onyx Black to match the body and the door handles and buckets.
I also want my rear tails smoked/tinted as well as mythird brake light.
Was quoted about $270.00 by a shop with a great rep today. Should I shop around??
I tried painting the covers myself and its just too ******* humid here lately, even baked them in the oven on low and still no good, then the can spattered after the 5th try and I said F this crap!

I don't want to cheap out and get a shitty job done, that's what scares me.

I believe I paid close to $90 total for new smooth mirror caps and having them painted. I should have just gotten them prepainted, my painted door handles were $60

remember guys, this is for the handles, mirror covers, tail light smoke, and the third brake light cover too.
Still an ok deal??

Around here in the Northeast, that would be a good price IMO if the job was done well and and didn't chip off a year later. FWIW, it seems like things are a little more pricey in this corner of the world though

I would ask about a warranty, or something like that, but other than that it sounds like a really good deal........keeping labor in mind.

I would say thats a fair price seeing as how a reputable shop will be doing the work.
